Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Red bell peppers
- 150 grams Goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Baguette slices (optional)
- 1 clove Garlic clove (optional, for baguette)
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high or your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Slice the red bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
Place the pepper halves cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Broil or roast the peppers for 8-10 minutes or until the skins are charred and blistered.
Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 5 minutes. This will make removing the skins easier.
While the peppers are steaming, prepare the goat cheese filling. In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Peel the skins off the cooled peppers and slice each half into thick strips (about 1.5 inches wide).
Arrange the pepper strips on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of goat cheese onto each strip.
Drizzle the honey evenly over the peppers and goat cheese, ensuring an even, glossy coating.
If serving with baguette slices, lightly toast them. Optionally, rub one side of each slice with a cut garlic clove for added flavor.
Serve the honey glazed red peppers with goat cheese immediately, either on their own or with the toasted baguette slices.
