Tender sweet mini peppers filled with the pleasantly fresh (yet lightly tangy!) flavor of goat cheese and drizzled with balsamic reduction.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound mini peppers
  • 8 ounce goat cheese (plain or flavored)
  • 1/4 cup balsamic reduction (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Wash and thoroughly dry mini peppers. Cut each pepper in half and cut out any flesh and seeds so that the cavities are clean. Arrange cut peppers on prepared baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Bake peppers for 5 minutes or until slightly tender. Remove peppers from oven and let cool until easy to handle.

  4. 4

    While peppers bake and cool, add goat cheese to a medium bowl and use a fork to break it apart so that it's in small crumbles.

  5. 5

    Use a spoon to fill each cooled pepper half with goat cheese. For best presentation, avoid overfilling peppers and try to keep the rims of the peppers clean of goat cheese.

  6. 6

    Serve stuffed peppers immediately. If desired, drizzle balsamic reduction on top or serve with balsamic reduction as a dipping sauce.
