- Make a slit down one side, and carefully cut out the seeds.
- Rinse the peppers in cold water, and drain on paper towels.
- Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add the shallots and garlic, and saute, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
- Scrape the mixture into a bowl and add the basil, thyme, rosemary, parsley, salt, pepper, goat cheese and mozzarella.
- Mix well, and form the mixture into 6 cylinders the same size as the peppers.
- Place one cylinder of the mixture in each pepper, skewer the peppers shut with toothpicks, and chill for 1 hour.
- Heat the oil to 375F.
- Beat the egg with the milk, and dip the filled peppers.
- Roll in flour, and fry in the hot oil until brown, turning gently with tongs.
- Remove with tongs, drain on paper towels, and serve immediately, accompanied by salsa, if desired.
- NOTE: The peppers can be completed up to step 3 a day in advance and refrigerated, tightly covered with plastic wrap.
