Grilled Pepper Poppers
- 1/2 bag sweet miniature peppers, about 15, halved and seeded (from Dominicks, Target) --I can't remember the brand name, but they are in the produce section) OR
- 15 Jalapeno peppers, halved and seeded
- 1/2 cup goat cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup light cream cheese from the tub
- 1/2 cup parmesean cheese
- 1/2 seeded and finely chopped tomato
- 2 green onions, chopped
- a few sprinkles Frank's red hot sauce
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp salt-free tex-mex style seasoning ( I used Penzy's Arizona Seasoning)
- Cooking spray
- 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro
- Cut each pepper in half using a small sharp knife, keeping a portion of stem intact in both halves (this provides a little "handle" for picking up the pepper after cooking). Place each pepper on spray-lined cookie sheet. Preheat oven at 450 degrees.
- Mix together all three cheese in a mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients through tex-mex seasoning and carefully spoon a small amount of mixture into each pepper half, mounding slightly.
- Place in oven and roast for about 10 minutes, watching carefully after 8 minutes. Peppers are done when bottoms are slightly charred and cheese mixture in somewhat brown. Adjust cooking time as needed.
