Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F and make sure your rack is in the center. Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil.
• Cut the baby sweet peppers into half. You can leave the stem on for a decorative look but it's perfectly fine to cut the green stem off if you prefer. Remove the seeds and white membrane from the inside.
• Add the pepper halves to a medium-sized bowl and mix with 1-2Tbsp of olive oil.
• Place the peppers on a sheet pan and then fill to the top with the Boursin cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, until the peppers are cooked and the cheese is soft and warm.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheese on the top of the peppers and broil for 1 minute.
• Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
