Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bell peppers
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tub ricotta cheese (15 oz)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sliced green onions
  • ½ cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 handful chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp each dried rosemary, dried thyme, fennel seed, and salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Halve the bell peppers lengthwise, remove seeds, and place them cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and bake for about 20 minutes until softened.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, wilt spinach for 15-30 seconds; chop it roughly. In a mixing bowl, combine wilted spinach with ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, green onions, basil, parsley, dried herbs, salt, pepper, and eggs.
  3. Fill each pepper with the ricotta mixture evenly.
  4. For the topping, mix breadcrumbs with olive oil and sprinkle over stuffed peppers.
  5. Bake again at 350°F (176°C) for another 30 minutes or until golden brown.
