Greek Stuffed Peppers with Feta & Mizithra Cheeses image

This quick & easy stuffed pepper recipe is usually served as a summer "meze" appetizer with a glass of white wine or ouzo. Many times it's enjoyed as a side dish or even a light meal (like we did today) The recipe calls for Cubanelle peppers, long & tapered, light green in color, and sweet.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 cubanelle peppers
1 c feta cheese
1/2 c ricotta cheese
1/2 c mizithra cheese
3-4 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
1 Tbsp heaping,dill, finely chopped
1 small onion,finely chopped
3 Tbsp olive oil for stuffing
pepper, to taste
red pepper flakes (optional)
olive oil for drizzling on peppers

Steps:

  • 1. Wash the peppers, slice the cap off the peppers, and set aside to use later. Scoop out the seeds, carefully though not to break or tear the peppers.
  • 2. In a bowl mix & mash the cheeses with a fork, add the onion, parsley, dill, olive oil, and pepper to your taste. If you like to have a slight kick add some red pepper flakes (I don't always add) Also I don't add salt due to the cheese, especially the feta cheese is a salty cheese. So before stuffing the peppers taste the filling and adjust to your liking.
  • 3. With a small spoon or your fingers (I use my fingers)stuff the peppers with the cheese mixture. Carefully pressing down to completely fill the peppers, to 1/2 inch from the top. Press a small piece of bread into each pepper to keep the cheese from melting out while cooking. Place the caps back on each pepper.
  • 4. Lightly brush a baking or pyrex dish with olive oil and add the peppers, placing them one next to the other. Drizzle the peppers with olive oil.
  • 5. Bake in 350* F preheated oven, on highest rack for about 20 minutes. At 10 minutes turn peppers. When ready, remove from oven and serve! KALI OREXI! ENJOY
