Instructions
Step 1
Start by rinsing the bell peppers thoroughly under running water. Once clean, carefully cut off the tops and remove the seeds from inside the peppers. Make sure to keep the peppers intact to hold the filling.
Step 2
Next, grate the hard cheese and finely chop the fresh parsley. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated cheese, egg, chopped parsley, and add a pinch of nutmeg, black pepper, and salt to taste.
Mix these ingredients thoroughly until well combined, creating a rich filling.
Step 3
Once your filling is ready, carefully stuff each pepper with the mixture. Press the filling down gently to ensure they are filled evenly and can hold their shape while cooking.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and cover them with aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out. Bake for approximately 25 minutes.
After baking, remove the foil for the last few minutes to allow the tops to become slightly golden and crisp.

A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the peppers. Always use a knife suited for the task to ensure safety!
For perfect cheese shavings, a quality grater makes a world of difference! Go for a medium or fine grater based on your preference.
Variations
Faq
- What type of peppers work best for stuffing?
Bell peppers are a popular choice, but you can also use poblano or Anaheim peppers for a unique flavor.
- Can I prepare these stuffed peppers ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare them a day in advance and store them in the fridge. Just pop them in the oven when you’re ready to cook!
- How can I tell if the peppers are cooked through?
They should be tender and slightly wrinkled on the outside. Use a fork to poke the fleshy part to ensure it’s soft.
- Can I freeze stuffed peppers for later?
Yes! Freeze them before baking. Just thaw in the fridge overnight before baking, and they'll be just as delicious.
- What can I add to the filling for extra protein?
Adding cooked quinoa, beans, or even shredded chicken is a fantastic way to boost the protein content!
- Is there a way to enhance the flavors of the filling?
Consider adding herbs like basil or oregano for a fresh pop, or mix in some sautéed onions and garlic for extra depth!
