 Peppers Stuffed with Cream Cheese

 

Mmmm...
 

6 green 

 

bell peppers

 

1½ lbs 

 

farmer's cheese (or ricotta)

 

1 cup 

 

finely chopped scallions (including green tops)

 

1 medium 

 

zucchini, finely chopped

 

2 cloves 

 

garlic, minced

 

3 large 

 

eggs, beaten

 

½ tsp 

 

ground thyme

 

½ tsp 

 

ground basil

 

 

 

salt to taste

 

 

 

lots of fresh ground pepper

 

 

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2

Take tops off of the peppers and carefully remove seeds and ribs.

3

Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and use this mixture to stuff the peppers. Stand the peppers upright in a 3" deep soufflé dish, or other dish that can hold them snugly.

4

Pour about ½" of water into the dish and bake for 30 minutes. Watch to make sure that peppers do not overcook (you don't want to see much browning).

5

Serve at room temperature.
