Ingredients

  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 2 ounces soft goat cheese (chevre)
  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons snipped fresh basil

Method

  • Cut the bell peppers lengthwise into halves,
  • discarding the stem ends, seeds and membranes.
  • Combine the bell peppers with a small amount of
  • water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil for
  • 2 minutes. Drain cut side down on paper towels.
  • Combine the goat cheese, Monterey Jack cheese,
  • chives and basil in a bowl and mix well. Spoon
  • about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture into each
  • bell pepper half. Fold an 18x24-inch sheet of foil
  • in half to make a 12x18-inch rectangle. Arrange
  • the bell pepper halves inside the foil. Bring up
  • 2 opposite sides of the foil and seal with a double
  • fold. Fold the remaining ends to completely enclose
  • the bell peppers, allowing space for steam to build.
  • Arrange the foil packet on a grill rack. Grill over medium to medium-hot coals for 5 to 6 minutes or until the bell peppers are tender-crisp and the cheese melts. To serve, cut each half into 2 wedges. Serve warm.
