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
Preparation
1️⃣ Wash the peppers, slice off the tops and carefully remove the seeds.
2️⃣ In a bowl, mix together the cheese, ham, eggs, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
3️⃣ Fill each pepper gently—leave a little space at the top to let the filling settle as it bakes.
4️⃣ Arrange in a greased baking dish.
5️⃣ Bake at 200°C (390°F) for about 30 minutes, until the peppers are tender and lightly browned.
6️⃣ Let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Advice
Don’t rush to serve them hot from the oven.
Let them sit for a bit—everything settles, flavors deepen, and the texture becomes just right. A piece of bread or a spoonful of plain yogurt is all you need beside it.
