This recipe would be great served on crackers for adults!

Ingredients:

• red bell pepper (1 large)
• pasteurized fresh goat cheese (1 1/2 oz)

Directions:

Preheat broiler. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Place whole pepper on pan and roat, turning every 3 minutes, until evenly charred and blackened on all sides, 12-15 minutes.

Remove pan from over, put pepper in a covered container, and let sit until cool enough to handle. (The steam inside the container will loosen the skin.)

Using your fingers or a paring knife (this was easier), peel off skin.

Cut pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds and stem. Cut halves in half again lengthwise and puree in a food processor until smooth. Additional liquid will not be needed. Spoon goat cheese into processor and process with pepper puree until well blended and creamy.
