A delightful twist on grilled peppers, stuffed with a flavorful combination of bread, basil, garlic, and cheese.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture.
Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
Cutting the peppers evenly helps them cook uniformly.
Place the peppers cut side down on a greased baking sheet.
Greasing the sheet prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake the peppers in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until they start to soften.
Keep an eye on the peppers to avoid overcooking.
Flip the peppers over and fill each with cubed bread, half of the basil, and minced garlic.
Distribute the filling evenly for consistent flavor.
Top the peppers with the cheese and return to the oven.
Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining basil.
Adding fresh basil at the end enhances the aroma and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious stuffed peppers.
Pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
