Goat Cheese Stuffed Roasted Peppers
Treat yourself to a tapas classic with these goat cheese stuffed peppers, roasted to perfection. The rich, creamy flavor of the goat cheese cuts through the light spice of the pepper and is complemented by the fresh basil. If you are unable to find fresh basil, make this recipe when you have it, as dried basil does not produce the same flavors when used as a substitute.

3/4 cup goat cheese at room temperature

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 sweet cherry peppers, stemmed and seeded
