Roasted Red Pepper and Chevre Cheese in Filo
Ingredients:
* 2 Packages of Athens frozen Filo cups
* 1 Roasted Red Pepper or canned roasted peppers
* 1 4 oz Chevre log
* 1/4 cup crumbled Feta Cheese
* 1/4 cup Neufchâtel cream cheese (lite cream cheese)
* 1 tsp Creepin Quag Hot Sauce
* 2 scallions sliced thin
Instructions:
If you have never roasted your own peppers at home it's really fun
Coat a whole red pepper with vegetable oil and place pepper onto a long fork, the kind you would use for the outdoor grill
Turn on a gas burner on the stove and slowly blacken all sides of the pepper. If you do not have a gas stove use the broiler in the oven turning peppers frequently until all sides are blackened. Let pepper cool slightly then place into a large zip lock baggie. Let pepper sit for 10 minutes or so. If you put the hot pepper directly into the bag it may melt the plastic, however do not let pepper cool too much as we are steaming the skin off of the pepper. Trust me folks this is actually pretty easy and you will get a much better flavor than the peppers out of the can although they will work fine as well.
Remove pepper from bag and place pepper onto a cutting board. Cut pepper in half, then scrape off the blackened skin, Remove the seeds as well. You may then rinse off your roasted pepper and pat dry.
Place roasted red pepper into a food processor and pulse on and off until pepper is roughly chopped.
Add cheeses and Hot sauce and pulse on and off to blend.
Stir in the sliced scallions.
Place mini filo cups onto a cookie or baking sheet and place a small spoonful of the pepper/cheese mixture into the cups. Do not fill above the rim of the filo cups.
Place cookie sheet into a preheated 375 oven and bake for 3-4 minutes. These may also be made ahead of time, frozen and baked from frozen state in a preheated 375 oven for 10 - 15 minutes.
