Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Wash the peppers, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and internal membranes.
3. In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese with grated Grana Padano, chopped parsley, and half of the breadcrumbs.
4. Fill each pepper half generously with the cheese mixture and place them on the baking tray.
5. Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs over the top and drizzle with the olive oil.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the peppers are soft and the topping is golden and crispy.
7. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Tips

• The cottage cheese provides a creamy texture with a massive protein boost compared to traditional fillings.
• These are perfect for meal prep as they can be eaten warm or at room temperature the next day.
