- 8 oz goat cheese softened
- 3 large garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Notes
- Store: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days. Enjoy cold. Do not freeze as bell peppers do not thaw well.
- To soften goat cheese, just place it in a microwave for a few seconds.
- Before baking, make sure peppers are sitting as flat as possible so the filling doesn't leak out.
- You can half or double this recipe.
