Stuffed Pepper Poppers

E-mail Print PDF

Ingredients
3-4 large jalapeño peppers
4 ounces goat Cheese
2 tablespoons bacon, chopped and cooked until crisp

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350*F.

2. Cut off the top of the peppers and gently scrap out the inside of the pepper with a table knife.

3. In a small spice grinder or food processor, mix the bacon and goat cheese until completely integrated.

4. Spoon cheese mixture into a ziptop bag, cut off a corner of the bag, and pipe the cheese mixture into the peppers.

5. Stand peppers in either a pepper roasting rack or, if you don't have such a gadget, a high-sided bowl filled with rice will do the trick. If using a bowl with rice, place it in the oven while pre-heating so that the rice will heat up and cook the peppers more evenly.

6. Place peppers in oven and cook for 25 minutes.

7. Let cool for 5 minutes before eating.

This is the second of the two methods Art devised for making peppers.  We came up with the idea of using a bowl of rice to support the peppers upright together, and it worked perfectly.

Wow. Those look -really- good. I have to ask, though: do you think the recipe would work without goat cheese? Which is to say: is there another cheese that could be substituted?

Any soft cheese would work. My recommendation for the non-lover of goat cheese would be cream cheese mixed with shredded cheddar cheese. :)
