Grilled Red Peppers & Goat Cheese Recipe
This recipe is easy to make and full of flavor. Be careful when rubbing the garlic on the bread. If you do not like a strong garlic flavor, just don't rub it to roughly on the bread.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sized red bell peppers (not long, but wide)
- olive oil
- 6oz goat cheese
- 3oz cream cheese
- 1/4c real grated Parmesan cheese
- fresh garlic clove
- thinly sliced baguette
- green onions, chopped
- fresh diced tomato
Directions
- Brush peppers with a little olive oil. Grill whole red bell peppers just to get a nice char on the outside, but the peppers are still firm. Remove from heat and place in a plastic bag and let sit for a few minutes, and peel off the outer flesh.
- Meanwhile, mix goat cheese and cream cheese.
- Make thin slices of baguette and place on a baking sheet covered with foil. Drizzle with a little olive oil and toast under broiler, or grill them. Once toasted, use a fresh peeled clove of garlic and gently rub it across the toasts.
- Cut the top off the whole peppers and clean out the seeds. Divide the cheese mixture between the two peppers to use them like a bowl. Place in a shallow baking dish. Place under a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes, just until cheese is soft and barely beginning to bubble. Remove from oven.
- Sprinkle bread slices with the grated Parmesan and place it under the broiler for about 30 seconds to one minute.
- Arrange a plate with the pepper in the middle and the sliced bread around and sprinkle plate and bread with diced tomatoes and green onion and spread on your warm cheese with a slice of the pepper.
