Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large red bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a small baking dish.
  2. Place the bell pepper halves cut-side up in the baking dish. Drizzle lightly with a little olive oil and bake for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the spinach and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until wilted. Remove from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix the cottage cheese, mozzarella, feta, Parmesan, egg, green onions, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the cooked spinach.
  6. Spoon the spinach and cheese mixture evenly into the softened pepper halves.
  7. Return the peppers to the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the filling is set and the cheese is melted.
  8. Sprinkle with fresh dill or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach for best texture.
  • Substitute ricotta for cottage cheese if preferred.
  • Serve warm for optimal flavor.
