Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 4 teaspoons Olive Oil divided
  • 25 Mini Bell Peppers washed
  • 10 ounces Goat Cheese room temperature
  • 4 ounces Fat Free Cream Cheese room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons Chives chopped
  • Black Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a small skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium/low heat. Add panko bread crumbs and saute until crumbs are golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Slice peppers in half lengthwise, taking care to leave the stems intact whenever possible. This is purely for presentation, so if you lose a stem or two, don't worry. Remove spongy ribs and seeds. Arrange peppers on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with remaining 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of olive oil and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together goat cheese, cream cheese, herbs and pepper with a fork until well combined. Spoon or pipe the cheese mixture into the hollowed out peppers. Sprinkle toasted panko bread crumbs evenly over peppers and bake for 12-15 minutes or until peppers are tender and the goat cheese is warm.

Notes

You may use any fresh herb you like in place of chives.
