The ingredients for Perfect Pepper Pinwheels are:

3 large red or orange peppers
113 g, or one small log, chevre (creamy goat cheese)
1/2 cup low-fat cream cheese
2 tsp minced fresh thyme
1/4 tsp oregano
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 tbsp non-fat Greek style yogurt
1/4 cup minced chives
pinch black pepper
24 fresh basil leaves

Here is how you make Perfect Pepper Pinwheels:

Roast the peppers:Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with foil.Place whole peppers on the sheet and roast on bottom rack of oven, turning every 5-10 minutes, until at least half the skin is charred - about 20-25 minutes.Immediately place the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 15 minutes, to allow the steam to loosen the skins.Slice peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds, then the skins, and set the peppers aside.Make the filling:In a food processor or with electric beaters, whip chevre, cream cheese, thyme, oregano, garlic, yogurt, chives and pepper until creamy and easily spreadable.Assembly:On the inside of each roasted pepper half, arrange 4 basil leaves to form a sort of "blanket" over the surface. Gently spread a layer of the cheese mixture over each basil "blanket", about about 1/4 - 1/3" thick. Roll up each pepper half lengthwise into a tight spiral, wrap in plastic wrap and twist the ends to seal. Place on a baking tray or large plate and chill overnight, or up to 4 days.To serve:Unwrap and slice each chilled roll crosswise into 4 rounds with a sharp serrated knife, cleaning the knife after each cut. Arrange on a platter, cut sides up, and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers up to 2 days.Number of Servings: 24Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JO_JO_BA.
