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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

Cut the tops off each bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse the insides and set them aside to dry.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the outsides of the peppers and rub to coat them evenly.

Step 5

Stuff each pepper with the prepared feta cheese mixture, pressing down gently to fill them completely.

Step 6

Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the tops.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, before serving warm.
