Grilled Cheese Stuffed Roasted Red Peppers Recipe

Ingredients

3

large red bell peppers

1/8

teaspoon salt

6

slices (1/4 inch thick) fresh mozzarella cheese (about 6 oz)

2

teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

1

tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

Preparation

Heat gas or charcoal grill. Place bell peppers on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium-high heat 10 to 13 minutes, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until all sides are blistered and charred.

Place peppers in brown paper bag; fold down top. Let stand 5 minutes.

Carefully peel as much skin from peppers as possible. Cut in half lengthwise; remove stems, seeds and ribs. Sprinkle with salt.

Place 1 slice of cheese in each pepper half; drizzle with oil. Return pepper halves to grill; cook about 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with basil. Cut each pepper half in half again.
