Recipe of the Week

This recipe comes from myrecipes.com. They have a wide variety of foods to prepare, and I think I have found another recipe from their website before. Great selections! This looks like a tasty appetizer that is fairly simple to prepare. The directions are easy to follow and there is no more than a few steps. You will love these and so will your guests!

The three-cheese filling is a nice complement for the spicy peppers. You can also use a milder chile, such as a cherry pepper. Shredded cheddar cheese can take the place of Parmesan, if you like.

Yield: 16 servings (serving size: 2 pepper halves)
Ingredients

* 1/2 cup (4 ounces) soft goat cheese
* 1/2 cup (4 ounces) fat-free cream cheese, softened
* 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
* 1/2 cup finely chopped seeded tomato
* 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
* 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
* 16 jalapeƱo peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded (about 1 1/2 pounds)
* Cooking spray
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

1. Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

2. Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl, stirring well. Spoon about 2 teaspoons cheese mixture into each pepper half. Place pepper halves, cheese side up, on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill peppers 5 minutes or until bottoms of peppers are charred and cheese mixture is lightly browned. Carefully place peppers on a serving platter. Sprinkle with cilantro.
