Ingredients

• 4 pieces bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
• 200 grams feta cheese
• 100 grams cream cheese, softened
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.

Step 2

Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes inside. Rinse them and pat them dry. If the peppers do not sit flat, trim a small section off the bottom, taking care not to create a hole.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, dill (if using), olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Stuff each pepper with the feta mixture, pressing it in gently to pack it tightly and prevent air gaps. Leave a small mound of filling at the top of each pepper.

Step 5

If desired, sprinkle a bit of breadcrumbs over the top of each stuffed pepper for a light crunch.

Step 6

Place the stuffed peppers in the prepared baking dish. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning during baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the peppers are tender.

Step 8

Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside a fresh salad for a light meal. Enjoy!
