Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Cut the tops off each bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse the insides and set them aside to dry.
In a mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, lemon zest, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the outsides of the peppers and rub to coat them evenly.
Stuff each pepper with the prepared feta cheese mixture, pressing down gently to fill them completely.
Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the tops.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and slightly charred, and the filling is golden and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, before serving warm.
