Steps:
- Heat gas or charcoal grill. Place bell peppers on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium-high heat 10 to 13 minutes, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until all sides are blistered and charred.
- Place peppers in brown paper bag; fold down top. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Carefully peel as much skin from peppers as possible. Cut in half lengthwise; remove stems, seeds and ribs. Sprinkle with salt.
- Place 1 slice of cheese in each pepper half; drizzle with oil. Return pepper halves to grill; cook about 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with basil. Cut each pepper half in half again.

Steps:
- Wash and dry the peppers, then with a small paring knife, cut the top almost all of the way around, leaving it attached but providing a large enough hole to get most of the membrane and seeds out. Carefully lift the top back and remove the membrane bits and seeds inside; discard. (If you accidentally break the top all of the way off, don't worry! We'll address that in a bit.)
- In a small bowl with a fork, mix together the ricotta, herbed goat cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Add the salt and pepper to taste.
- Using the fork, scoop the cheese mixture inside each pepper, filling the pepper. Replace the top and secure with one or two toothpicks (or if the top broke all the way off, just fasten it back on).
- Grill peppers on medium-high heat, about 375 degrees, turning occasionally with tongs. Cook for about 8 - 10 minutes, or until the peppers blister and have blackened lines on all sides, and the cheese mixture inside is piping hot.
- Transfer the peppers to plates and serve.
- You can make these ahead, too - refrigerate up to 24 hours. Just bring them to room temperature - some time on the counter for about 30 minutes should suffice - before grilling.
SMOKED GOUDA AND ROASTED RED PEPPER GRILLED CHEESE
Smoked gouda, while having a wonderful and inimitable flavor, has trouble achieving that gooey, iconic cheesy stretch that makes grilled cheese sandwiches so pleasing. By adding a partner cheese with a less assertive flavor and higher melting property, like deli muenster, you can achieve both melting and flavor perfection.

Steps:
- Lay out 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Layer each with some of the smoked gouda, 1 slice of the muenster, a thin layer of sliced red pepper (about 2 tablespoons), 1/2 cup of the baby arugula and another layer of smoked gouda. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread. Thinly and evenly spread the butter on both sides of the bread using about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter for each sandwich.
- Place 2 sandwiches into a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the bread is evenly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip, cover again and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is visibly melted, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
