Grilled Pepper Poppers

When someone says chili's the first thing I think of are Jalapenos and when I think of Jalapenos I think of those delicious, greasy, cheesy popper things you can get at a bar! Those are good but I don't fry in this house so I found a recipe on CookingLight.com that had a 3 cheese jalapeno popper that was grilled. They turned out great, so great that I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the final product before most of them were gone!


Ingredients

1/2 cup (4 ounces) soft goat cheese
1/2 cup (4 ounces) fat-free cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped seeded tomato
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
16 jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Cooking spray

Directions

Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl, stirring well. Spoon about 2 teaspoons cheese mixture into each pepper half.

Place pepper halves, cheese side up, on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill peppers 5 minutes or until bottoms of peppers are charred and cheese mixture is lightly browned. Carefully place peppers on a serving platter.
