In a medium bowl, combine the goat cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the stuffed peppers.

Step 7

Place the peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the tops are golden and bubbly.

Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
