We’ve been working on some new hors d’oeuvres to offer our guests here at Foxfield Inn to have with their glass of wine on Friday and Saturday nights. One of the new favorites is our Stuffed Baby Peppers. Another one is our Bacon Wrapped Squash Bites – more about that at another time though.
I came across a recipe from Giada deLaurentiis for Stuffed Baby Peppers and thought they would be a good addition to our social hour menu. We tried it a few years ago and the guests were not overly enthusiastic about them – good, yes; great, no. So I put the idea away until I saw baby peppers at the market in September. So, out came the recipe.
This time though we removed the ingredients the guests thought were a bit strange and added some that we liked. We also changed from “grocery store” bacon to locally sourced and smoked bacon from JM Stock Provisions & Supply. This bacon is absolutely the best bacon!
We hope you enjoy!
