- 4 oz garlic-herb spreadable cheese
- 4 oz Gouda cheese
- 3.5 oz cured chorizo (or pepperoni)

Steps
- Chop chives; halve peppers lengthwise. Cut cream cheese and garlic-herb cheese into chunks to soften. Shred Gouda (about 1 cup).
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut chorizo into small chunks and place in food processor bowl; pulse until finely chopped. Add chives, cream cheese, garlic-herb cheese, Gouda, red onions, mayonnaise, and hot sauce; pulse until blended.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture into each pepper half; arrange on baking sheet and bake 10–12 minutes until cheese is hot and bubbly. Serve.
Chef's Tip: These can be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for 6–7 minutes until cheese is hot and bubbly.
