Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 4 oz soft goat cheese (room temperature)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 8 mini bell peppers
  • Olive oil spray

Instruction

  • If your cheese is refrigerator-cold, slice it and microwave it for 30 seconds to soften.
  • Place the cheese, garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl and mix well with a fork.
  • Set an oven rack 6 inches below the broiling element, then heat your broiler.
  • Cut the mini peppers in half lengthwise, leaving the stems intact. Remove the seeds and membranes.
  • Spread the peppers, cut side down, on a cutting board. Spray them with olive oil, then turn to the other side, so that the cut side is up.
  • Spoon the seasoned goat cheese into the peppers, using about one heaping teaspoon per half bell pepper. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
  • Arrange the peppers in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, cheese side up.
  • Broil the peppers until the cheese is golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Serve immediately, or keep them in a warm (150 degrees F) oven until your guests arrive, up to one hour.
