Ingredient Notes

For this recipe, you’ll need mini sweet peppers, feta cheese, fresh parsley, and olive oil. Mini sweet peppers can be substituted with larger bell peppers if needed. I recommend using high-quality feta, preferably imported from Greece, for the best taste. Fresh parsley is essential for that authentic flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the crumbled feta cheese with finely chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil until well combined.
  2. Stuff each pepper half generously with the feta mixture, ensuring they’re filled to the top.
  3. Arrange the stuffed peppers on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until they are slightly golden and softened.

Things I’ve Learned

To avoid sogginess, make sure not to overstuff the peppers. These can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispness. You can also make them ahead of time and bake just before serving for a fresh taste.
