Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Slice each pepper from stem to bottom and scrape out the seeds and any large ribs. Rinse and set on a towel to dry.
Put the goat cheese in a small bowl and let it come to room temperature. If using plain goat cheese, you can mix in finely minced fresh herbs.
Crumble the bacon into the cheese and stir to blend well.
Using your hands, stuff each pepper with the cheese mixture and place in a glass baking dish.
Drizzle each pepper with a little olive oil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the peppers are softened.
