I must admit, I do enjoy a good jalapeno popper with a Margarita every now and then! These sound like a great alternative and relatively easy to make at home. And yeah, I can make my own Margarita:)
10 Lunchbox Peppers
Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper
6 oz Goat Cheese
1/4 cup Ricotta Cheese
1 tsp fresh Thyme leaves, chopped OR Eatwell Farm Thyme Salt
1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
2 TB unsalted Butter, melted
Preheat oven to 400 F. Slice each pepper in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds, hollowing out pepper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in an 8x8 baking dish. Whip goat cheese and ricotta together until light and airy using a hand mixer, about 2 minutes. Stir in the thyme, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Fill each pepper halfway with cheese mixture and level off with a small offset spatula. Place the breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Pour butter over the breadcrumbs and toss to combine. Sprinkle each pepper with the buttered breadcrumbs. Bake until golden and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
