Category: Appetizer
Yield: 32 pepper halves
Ingredients
16 miniature bell peppers, halved, seeds removed
1 tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic
8 ounces goat cheese, softened
¼ cup Greek yogurt
¼ cup finely chopped fresh herbs (I used parsley and basil)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly oiled foil and set aside.
In a small skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and sweat for 1-2 minutes, until just fragrant. Remove from heat.
Combine goat cheese, yogurt, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse for 30 seconds until well combined (you can also just stir together in a bowl - just finely chop the garlic first if you do so).
Spoon about 2 tsp of the mixture into each bell pepper half. Serve immediately, or bake for 12-14 minutes until filling is lightly browned on top.
