I'm always looking for different sides to spice up dinnertime. There's a couple of new onew this week.
8 ounces goat cheese, softened
2 tablespoons lightly packed lemon zest
2 teapsoons chopped fresh basil1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
15 medium-sized fresh okra (about 1/2 pound), halved lengthwise and seeded
10 slices bacon, cut crosswise into thirds
Garnish; chopped fresh basil, ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
in a medium bowl, combine goat cheese, lemon zest, basil, salt and pepper.
Fill okra halves with 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of goat cheese mixture, being careful to avoid overstuffing. Wrap bacon around stuffed okra, overlapping. Place okra on prepared pan.
Bake until bacon is slightly crispy, 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with basil and pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!!!
