🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Alright, let's get started! First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get that oven nice and toasty!
- Now, grab your red bell peppers. Carefully slice them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and membranes. Nobody wants a seedy surprise!
- Drizzle the inside of each pepper half with a little olive oil, just a light coating. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. This will help them roast up nicely.
- Place the pepper halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. We're gettin' there, people!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage (if using), goat cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs (like basil, parsley, or thyme – whatever sings to you!), and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you're feeling spicy. Mix it all together until well combined. This is where the magic happens!
- Spoon the goat cheese mixture evenly into each pepper half, mounding it slightly. Don't be shy, pack 'em good!
- Drizzle a bit more olive oil over the stuffed peppers, just for good measure.
- Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. This helps the peppers soften and the filling heat through without burning.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is golden brown and bubbly. Keep an eye on them!
- Let the stuffed peppers cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh herbs, if desired. Take a picture, show them off!
- Dig in and enjoy the symphony of flavors! It's a total party in your mouth.
