Grilledpepperpopperswithgoatcheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Slice each pepper in half lengthwise, keeping the stem intact. Remove the ribs and seeds and discard, hollowing out each of the peppers. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper and place in an 8- by 8-inch baking dish.
• Whip the goat cheese and ricotta together until light and airy in a mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, about 2 minutes. Stir in the thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Fill each pepper halfway with 2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture and level off with a small offset spatula.
• Place the breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Pour the butter over the breadcrumbs and toss to combine. Sprinkle each pepper with the buttered breadcrumbs. Bake until golden and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• CAUTION: Jalapenos can be very hot. Use caution and wear rubber gloves if you have skin sensitivity. Keep hands away from face and eyes. Wash hands thoroughly with warm water and soap when finished handling peppers.
• Slice peppers from stem to tip on 1 side. Carefully squeeze ends of pepper (like a change purse) and scoop out seeds and veins with a small spoon. Stuff each pepper with shredded cheese. Cut bacon slices in half. Wrap each pepper with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
• Preheat grill. Grill peppers 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until bacon is cooked, but not crisp.
• Remove from grill and serve while hot.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat. When the grill is hot, lightly oil the grate.
• Place the pepper pieces onto the grill with the inside facing down. Cook until slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Turn peppers over, and place jalapeno slices onto them. Top with some mozzarella cheese, and sprinkle with a bit of oregano. Grill until cheese melts, then remove to a plate and serve.

Steps:

• Cut the pheasant breast into 36 pieces, and place into a bowl. Pour the liquid from the jalapeno peppers over the pheasant, stir, and set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Drain the marinade from the pheasant and discard. Place a slice of jalapeno pepper onto each piece of pheasant breast, and wrap with a third of a strip of bacon. Skewer 6 of the pheasant pieces on each skewer.
• Cook on the preheated grill, turning frequently, until the bacon is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the skewers from the pheasant pieces, and place a toothpick into each piece to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix together the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Cheddar cheese in a bowl until the mixture is thoroughly blended.
• Lay a jalapeno pepper onto a work surface, and cut a lengthwise sliver from the side of the pepper, exposing the seeds and white membrane. With the handle of a teaspoon, scrape out the seeds and membrane, leaving the hollow pepper. Repeat for the rest of the peppers. Chop up the pepper slices, and mix into the cheese stuffing. Stuff each pepper with cheese mixture, and wrap each stuffed pepper in a half bacon slice. Secure with toothpicks.
• Grill the poppers on a less-hot part of the grill until the peppers are hot and juicy and the bacon is browned, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut peppers in half.
• Use a spoon to remove the seeds and white membranes.
• Fill each half with the cheese.
• Cut the bacon slices in half so that you have 24 shorter slices.
• Wrap each cheese stuffed jalapeño with a bacon slice; secure with toothpicks if you need to or slide them on skewers.
• Grill over hot coals until the bacon is crispy and browned, turning every few minutes (stay with them and watch for flare ups from the dripping bacon fat or they will burn); grill for about 15 or 20 minutes.
• The bacon should be crisp, the jalapeño crisp tender and the cheese should be hot.

Steps:

• Put bell peppers, cut side down, on a greased baking sheet. Grill in a preheated oven of 400 F for about 20 minutes or until they are tender.
• Flip the bell peppers, distribute the cubes of bread in the holes and cover with half the basil. Sprinkle with garlic and cheese. Keep cooking for about 15 minutes or until peppers are lightly black on the sides and cheese is bubbling. Sprinkle with remaining basil.

Steps:

• Prepare grill to medium high heat.
• Combine first 7 ingredients in bowl, stirring well.
• Spoon about 2 teaspoons of mixture into each pepper half.
• Place pepper halves, cheese side up, on grill rack coated with cooking spray.
• Grill peppers 5 minutes or until bottoms are charred and cheese mixture is lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to 350 to 400 degrees F, or medium-high heat.
• Place the peppers in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss with the salt, pepper and paprika.
• Grill the peppers, without the grill lid and turning often, until just slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Spoon the goat cheese evenly into the pepper halves. Sprinkle with the rosemary and thyme.

Steps:

• Pat the peppers dry with a paper towel and set aside.
• Wrap each cheese stick with a slice of ham, then slice the wrapped sticks into approximately 1/2-inch cubes. Stuff the wrapped cheese cubes into the peppers.
• Heat the oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot to 350 degrees F.
• Set up a breading station using pie pans or plates. Put the flour in the first pie pan, then whisk together the egg and 2 tablespoons water in the second pie pan. In the third, mix together the panko, salt and pepper. Run each stuffed pepper through the breading station: lightly coat in the flour, dip in the egg wash and thoroughly coat in the panko.
• Fry the peppers in batches in the hot oil until the breading is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Spoon sour cream into a 1-quart zip-loc freezer bag; seal and chill.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• Rinse peppers; cut in half length-wise. Remove seeds and veins.
• Mix together in small bowl cheese, tomato, onion, cilantro and salt.
• Fill pepper halves evenly with cheese mixture; pressing it into hollows.
• Lay filled peppers, cheese side up on grill (I use a grill pan for ease, but it's not necessary).
• Cook until blistered and slightly charred on the bottoms, approximately 3-5 minutes.
• With a wide spatula, move peppers to serving platter.
• Snip 3/4-inch corner off the sour cream bag and pipe evenly over the hot peppers.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mash the butter with the Parmesan, garlic, parsley and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
• On a work surface, lay out 4 slices bread. Top each piece of bread with 2 slices mozzarella, 6 slices pepperoni, 1 more slice mozzarella and another slice of bread. Spread some of the herb butter on each sandwich.
• In a large nonstick skillet, cook the sandwiches in batches as needed over medium-low heat until browned and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Season with salt.

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saute onion and peppers until tender. Divide between 2 bread slices. Top with cheese and remaining bread. Spread outsides of sandwiches with butter., In a large skillet, toast sandwiches over medium heat until golden brown and cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes per side.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Cut a lengthwise slit down each pepper, leaving the stem intact; remove membranes and seeds. Fill each pepper with 1 tablespoon cheese mixture.
• Prepare grill for indirect heat. Place peppers in a disposable foil pan. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until peppers are tender and cheese is melted. Serve warm. Yield: 10 appetizers.

Steps:

• Start the coals or heat a gas grill for medium direct cooking. Make sure the grates are clean.
• Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise but leave the halves connected at the stem. With your finger or a pointed spoon (like a grapefruit spoon), remove the seeds and white ribs from the halves. (Wear rubber gloves, or be careful not to touch your skin after handling the chiles.)
• Put the cream cheese and Gouda in a medium bowl with a little salt; mash until combined. Fill the jalapeño halves evenly with a small spoon and press the halves back together to close. (You can fill and refrigerate the jalapeños up to a day ahead.)
• Put the jalapeños on the grill directly over the fire. Close the lid and cook, carefully turning once, until the peppers have softened and browned (it's okay if they char in spots) and the cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve.
