Peppadews Stuffed with Fresh Cheese

I returned last week from a magnificent trip to Paris. One night after a long day of shopping, walking and seeing this beautiful city we landed a reservation at Ferdi. On their Craving Menu we came across Peppadews Stuffed with Fresh Cheese and decided to order them after various staff recommendations. After one bite, I knew I wanted to recreate these delicious bites. I asked them what type of cheese they used and the response was “Philadelpia”. So with that, I decided to try my hand making this recipe. I purchased peppadews at the local Whole Foods olive bar, then I stuffed them with whipped cream cheese and Boursin cheese combined. I drizzled them with olive oil and topped with minced parsley just prior to serving. I think I hit a homerun with this recreation. So easy and a great make ahead appetizer.
