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
