Greek stuffed peppers with Cheese
These are a tasty little treat I once had in Greek with some Ouzo. καλή όρεξη (kali orexi – enjoy your meal!)
Ingredients
- 6 peppers of your choice we tend to go for mild peppers
- 1 egg
- 1 cup crumbled Greek cheese Feta or Kefalotyri - or a mixture of your favorite
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- Some Sea salt and Pepper
- Olive oil for frying
- 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Wash peppers, cut off the top and remove seeds.
- Beat egg and pour in bowl with grated cheese and mix.
- Add parsley, some Sea salt and pepper, mix well.
- Stuff each pepper with cheese mixture.*
- Heat pan with olive oil, once hot, add peppers and fry until soft.
- Remove, set on paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Put the Greek stuffed peppers with Cheese on a plate and squeeze lemon over them.
- Serve!
Notes
* Adding a piece of bread to each pepper before placing on pan will help keep the cheese mixture from coming out.
Want to skip frying? You can also bake these for 25-30min at 375F, or until soft.
Pro tip: use gloves when cleaning or the seeds to prevent them from burning your hands due to their spice.
