Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Roast the peppers:
  2. Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with foil.
  3. Place whole peppers on the sheet and roast on bottom rack of oven, turning every 5-10 minutes, until at least half the skin is charred - about 20-25 minutes.
  4. Immediately place the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 15 minutes, to allow the steam to loosen the skins.
  5. Slice peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds, then the skins, and set the peppers aside.
  6. Make the filling:
  7. In a food processor or with electric beaters, whip chevre, cream cheese, thyme, oregano, garlic, yogurt, chives and pepper until creamy and easily spreadable.
  8. Assembly:
  9. On the inside of each roasted pepper half, arrange 4 basil leaves to form a sort of blanket over the surface.
  10. Gently spread a layer of the cheese mixture over each basil blanket , about about 1/4 - 1/3 thick.
  11. Roll up each pepper half lengthwise into a tight spiral, wrap in plastic wrap and twist the ends to seal.
  12. Place on a baking tray or large plate and chill overnight, or up to 4 days.
  13. To serve:
  14. Unwrap and slice each chilled roll crosswise into 4 rounds with a sharp serrated knife, cleaning the knife after each cut.
  15. Arrange on a platter, cut sides up, and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers up to 2 days.
