Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 415˚F (210˚C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, and chives together in a medium bowl. Stir in the cooked lentils and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Fill each sliced pepper boat with a rounded spoon of filling. Wrap each filled pepper with a piece of sliced prosciutto width-wise.
  4. Place onto the prepared baking tray and bake for 12-14 minutes or until prosciutto is lightly crispy, but pepper still has structure.
  5. Let cool for 5 minutes, drizzle with sundried tomato oil (optional) and serve. Alternatively, you can make ahead and serve cold.

Drizzle with balsamic reduction to take this dish to the next level.
