The inspiration for this little gem of an appetizer sprang from the bag of sweet mini peppers in our fridge. I decided to throw them together with some leftover gorgonzola, a few strips of crispy bacon, and a bit of tart apple and see what happens. The result was fantastic! These will definitely be served if/when we're ever allowed to entertain again.

Steps

20 minutes

1

Fry the bacon as you normally would until crispy. Drain the bacon on a paper-towel lined plate, then chop into a rough crumble.
2

In a bowl, mash the gorgonzola up into fine chunks. Add the crumbled bacon and stir to combine.
3

Peel the apples and chop them into small (about 1/4 cm) cubes. Toss them in a bowl with the apple cider vinegar to prevent browning. Drain, then toss again with the honey.
4

Place the peppers cut-side up on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Fill with about 1 tbsp of apple, then top with the gorgonzola bacon crumble. Broil on high a few minutes until the cheese melts. Don't overcook or the peppers may get soft and lose their shape. Serve hot.
