Herbed Goat Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers

about 9 -10 mini sweet peppers (a mix of red, orange, and yellow)

semi-soft goat cheese* with herbs

 you could substitute cream cheese for goat cheese, but I personally don't think it would be as great.  And you would probably need to add more seasoning.

mix of fresh green onions, tarragon and basil, freshly chopped

large clove of garlic, minced fine 

salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F 

Slice off a slice from the "top" (concave) side of the peppers, leaving the stem.  

Scoop out the seeds and membrane.

Combine the softened goat cheese with the freshly chopped herbs, garlic, salt and pepper.

Spoon the herbed goat cheese into the peppers.

Arrange the peppers on a backing sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

Bake for around 15-18 minutes until peppers are softened and cheese is hot and bubbly.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve warm.
