The sweet smokey flavors from the grilled peppers and the tart goat cheese create a wonderful combination. Grilling the peppers brings out the natural sugars giving the peppers a wonderful sweet flavor.
Ingredients:
2 ounces of softened goat cheese (chèvre)
1/4+ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (couple ounces)
1+ tablespoon snipped fresh chives
1+ tablespoon snipped fresh basil (used this recipe), or 1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
2 medium red, yellow, and/or green sweet peppers, quartered lengthwise
Instructions:
In a small bowl combine goat cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, chives, and basil. Set aside.
Cut peppers length-wise into quarters and remove seeds, stem and membrane
Place sweet peppers on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals (or medium heat on gas grill).
Grill about 8 minutes or until peppers are crisp-tender and starting to brown, turning once halfway through grilling. Remove peppers from grill.
Spoon cheese mixture into sweet pepper pieces, and return to grill.
Grill for 2 to 3 minutes more or until cheese is melted.
