Goat Cheese Spread in Roasted Pepper Cups image

I had a similar dish in a restaurant in Seattle, and when I returned home I just had to try my hand at making it. This is the fantastic result. I've taken it to work for parties and my boss once commented, "It's so good, it must be illegal."-Jenny Rodriquez, Pasco, Washington

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The goat cheese spread was a bit bland for my taste.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. For example, I would add some chopped fresh herbs to the goat cheese spread.

I followed the recipe exactly and the goat cheese spread turned out runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for my liking. I think I'll stick to simpler goat cheese spread recipes in the future.

These goat cheese spread in roasted pepper cups were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a particularly spicy variety of roasted peppers. Next time, I'll use a milder variety.

I'm not a fan of goat cheese, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The roasted peppers and the honey really balanced out the flavor of the cheese.

This is a great recipe for a summer party. The roasted peppers can be made ahead of time, and the goat cheese spread can be assembled just before serving.
