🫑🧀 Stuffed Peppers with Cheese and Ham

Description

A quiet kind of dish—one that doesn’t ask for attention but always gets noticed.
Soft peppers, filled with a little cheese, a little ham, and just enough egg to hold it all together.
Nothing too much, nothing missing. When it’s warm, it feels like home.

Ingredients

• 🫑 4 small bell peppers
• 🧀 200 g (about 7 oz) cottage or soft white cheese
• 🥩 100 g (about 3.5 oz) ham, diced
• 🥚 2 eggs
• 🥄 1 tbsp sour cream (optional, for creamier texture)
• 🧂 Salt and black pepper to taste
• 🫒 A little oil for greasing the baking dish

2. 2️⃣ In a bowl, mix together the cheese, ham, eggs, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
