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
