Really delicious! I used it to stuff 10 halves, and downed it in one sitting. (It's dinner.) I used fat-free chedddar, and it was still great.

Have made fat free and full fat - wonderful both ways - and not deep fried!

These were fantastic. I used quark instead of cream cheese. Quark is widely available in Europe and it's a virtually fat-free soft-cheese that is also free of salt. I omitted the cheddar and mayo in the recipe; but I added chives and cumin to my quark mixture. Everything else was the same and it was delicious! I'll be making these again and again. I'd make another batch right now if I had more peppers!
