Ingredients

• 30 red, yellow, and/or orange mini sweet peppers (about 12 oz. total) see savings
• 18 ounces semi-soft goat cheese (chevre) see savings
• 1/4 cup snipped fresh chives, tarragon, basil, or thyme see savings
• Fresh basil leaves see savings

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Leaving the stem intact, cut a slit along the top of each pepper. Remove the seeds; set aside. In a small bowl combine goat cheese and snipped herbs. Spoon cheese mixture into prepared pepper. Arrange filled peppers close together on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is heated through and peppers are crisp-tender. 2. Use tongs to arrange warm peppers on a serving dish, stacking peppers into a pyramid shape. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Makes 30 servings.
