Calories 63kcal
Ingredients
- 8 mini sweet peppers sliced in half lengthwise then seeded
- 4 oz goat cheese softened
- 4 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese softened
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper
- 4 slices cooked bacon crumbled and divided
- 1/2 cup sweet chili pepper sauce
Instructions
- Place oven rack in center position then preheat broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil then arrange sweet pepper halves on top.
- In a medium-sized bowl stir together goat cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper until smooth. Add 3/4 of the bacon then stir to combine. Fill pepper halves to the top with the cheese mixture, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon.
- Broil for 3-4 minutes watching very carefully to avoid burning then transfer poppers to a platter and sprinkle with remaining bacon. If cheese doesn't begin to brown within a minute or two, move rack up (you just don't want to overcook the pepper halves.) Serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
