Place peppers in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag; seal and let stand 10 minutes to loosen skins. Reduce oven temperature to 450°.
Step 3
Peel peppers. Make a slit in one side of each pepper; sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Really good and received well by all. But way more work than I think I want to do, again!

All thumbs and kitchen knives UP!!! Truth be told, I didn't try the original recipe because I had neither goat cheese nor basil on hand when I wanted to make these, so I substituted half cream cheese/half Feta, and parsley, and the result was fabulous. I took the peppers to a potluck party, and folks were raving about them.
