1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1.5-2 oz goat cheese
2 TB. olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Slice peppers in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and ribs. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl. Stuff each pepper not too tightly, but not too loosely.

Place stuffing side up on a parchment- or aluminum-lined cookie sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes on 375 degrees, or until the stuffing starts to brown.
