  • 3 tablespoons green onions diced
  • 8 ounces fresh baby spinach roughly chopped
  • salt + black pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 egg

  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons parsley chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill chopped

Method
 

  1. Prep the oven and peppers: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Halve and deseed your mini peppers. Lightly coat the outsides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place in a baking dish.
    8-10 mini peppers, 2 tablespoons olive oil
  2. Cook the spinach filling: In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add green onions and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook for 1 minute until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to a strainer to cool and drain excess moisture.
    2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 tablespoons green onions, 8 ounces fresh baby spinach, 2 teaspoons garlic, salt + black pepper
  3. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, beat the egg. Add feta, parmesan, breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, and the cooled spinach mixture. Season again with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
    1 cup crumbled feta cheese, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs, 3 tablespoons parsley, 3 tablespoons fresh dill, 1 egg
  4. Stuff the peppers: Spoon the spinach filling into the prepared mini peppers. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
  5. Add cheese and finish baking: Remove foil, top peppers with mozzarella, and bake for 6–8 more minutes until melted and slightly golden.
    1 cup mozzarella
  6. Serve warm: Sprinkle with chili flakes if using. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Can I make this without egg?
    Yes, you can skip the egg. The filling may be a bit looser but still delicious.
  • Can I use frozen spinach?
    Absolutely. Thaw and squeeze dry to remove excess water.
  • What kind of peppers should I use?
    Mini sweet peppers are perfect, but you can use bell peppers cut into quarters too.
