I am officially finished with the summer heat, y’all. Nashville is hawwwwwt in one of those uncomfortable, sticky kinda ways. The only saving grace right now is that I really do love all of the summer minglings with friends. Weekend and evening drinks and laughs almost make me forget that fall is just around the corner now. While I sit and dream of the falling leaves and sweaters, I am still pushing out some great party bites.
These Goat Cheese and Prosciutto-stuffed Peppadews are a unique, great app to whip up in just minutes. You can even share a few, if you’d like.
If you haven’t had peppadew peppers before, you might be surprised. They aren’t spicy. It’s basically a pickled sweet pepper. About the size of a cherry tomato, you can find read a bit more about their gain in popularity here. I pick them up near the olive bar at the grocery, and can personally attest that they are killer on a homemade pizza. Hide a few of these from your friends and try that one out the next day.
Short and sweet, just like these peppers. Enjoy!
