Ok, so I’m a Costco addict, and I’ve noticed that at my friendly neighborhood Costco (30 minutes away is neighborhood–right?) there are bags of red, yellow, and orange bell peppers for a very good price. I’ve been buying bell peppers each time I run to Costco, so by now I have bell peppers coming out of my ears. (Too bad my garden peppers didn’t fare as well. Maybe next year.)
I present to you…
Sweet Peppers Stuffed with Goat Cheese
Serves 4 as a side dish – 1.5 ww points for 2 pieces
1 oz. soft goat cheese
1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded or grated
1 Tbs. snipped chives
1 Tbs. snipped fresh basil or 1 tsp. dried basil, crushed
2 medium sweet peppers
- Combine the cheeses and herbs in a small bowl and set aside.
- Wash the outside of your peppers, then quarter them lengthwise. Remove the seeds.
- Throw them on your grill over medium heat, and grill them until they start to get crisp tender and brown just a little, turning once. (Maybe 8 minutes?)
- Spoon the cheese mixture into the pieces evenly, then put them back on the grill for 2-3 minutes until the cheese starts to melt.
- Yum.
