Step by Step guide
Step 1
Wash the peppers, cut them in half, and remove the seeds. Do not cut off the stems; leave them for decoration.
Step 2
Place the pepper halves on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and put them under the broiler for a short time. The peppers should soften slightly and the edges should brown.
Step 3
While the peppers are in the oven, dice the mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, and tomatoes into small cubes (if the tomatoes are very juicy, remove some of the seeds).
Step 4
Put everything in a bowl, add the cream cheese, olive oil, ground black pepper, and chopped basil leaves.
Step 5
Press the garlic through a garlic press (or chop finely) and add it to the cheese mixture.
Step 6
Add a little dried basil, dried garlic, and oregano (just a little).
Step 7
Remove the peppers from the oven and fill the pepper boats with the cheese and spice mixture, drizzling olive oil on top.
Step 8
Place the filled boats back in the oven for about 15–20 minutes at 410°F.
Step 9
Once the cheese has melted and a golden crust forms, take the peppers out of the oven.
Step 10
Let them cool slightly and serve.
