   How to make bell peppers stuffed with cheese in the oven? To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Choose bell peppers that are firm and not flaccid. It is better to take peppers of different colors to make the dish bright and beautiful.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the bell peppers, dry them and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove seeds. Also, if desired, remove the stem.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Any cheese for an appetizer is suitable, from ordinary Russian cheese to suluguni. The main thing is that the cheese is tasty.

4. STEP 4

   

   Shake the olives off the brine, dry and cut into rings.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the dill, shake off moisture and chop finely. If you wish, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, parsley, cilantro, green onions, or use a mixture of different herbs.

6. STEP 6

   

   In a bowl, combine grated cheese, olives, chopped herbs and pressed garlic. Season everything with mayonnaise.

7. STEP 7

   

   Mix thoroughly. If necessary, add salt to the filling. In addition to the specified spices, you can add spices to the filling to your liking.

8. STEP 8

   

   Fill the bell pepper halves tightly with the cheese filling.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place stuffed peppers in a baking dish greased with vegetable oil. Place the peppers so that they do not fall on their sides and the filling does not leak out of them. Place the stuffed peppers in an oven preheated to 190°C for 20-25 minutes. The exact baking time depends on your oven.

10. STEP 10

I cooked bell peppers with cheese stuffed in the oven for dinner. I really liked the unusual presentation: not whole peppers, but halves. Since I cooked these peppers for dinner, and my husband does not accept dinner without meat, I added minced pork to the filling along with all the other ingredients. I had the olives already cut into circles. Replaced fresh garlic with garlic powder. Since I added meat to the filling, I baked the peppers in the oven longer, 35 minutes. It turned out very tasty. It seemed to me that halves of pepper are even more convenient to eat than whole ones. It turned out very tasty and satisfying. Olives add a pleasant, not harsh taste to the dish. My husband was very pleased. For some upcoming holiday, I will prepare these peppers as a snack, without meat. Thank you very much for the recipe!
