Grilled Pepper Poppers


I know I haven't posted anything in forever, but this recipe is definitely worth sharing!  We had friends over and grilled last night and I decided to try these for an appetizer.  They are so delicious!  This is a Cooking Light recipe, and it came with the suggestion that if jalapenos are too spicy you can substitute with a milder chile.  I even think it would be good with sweet mini peppers.

1/2 C soft goat cheese
1/2 C light or fat-free cream cheese
1/2 C grated fresh parmesan cheese
1/2 C finely chopped seeded tomato
2 Tb thinly sliced green onions
2 Tb chopped fresh sage (I skipped this)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
16 jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
2 Tb chopped fresh cilantro

Prepare grill to medium high heat.

Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl, stirring well.  Spoon cheese mixture into each pepper half.  Place the pepper halves, cheese side up on a grill rack coated with cooking spray.  Grill about 5 minutes.  Enjoy!
