Summary
We have some great recipes for stuffed peppers (and more coming up in the near future), but we wanted to do something on a smaller and simpler scale. These peppers have a delicious and mild feta stuffing along with wonderfully flavored bread crumbs. It is a simple and light dish but can carry its own weight with some main course plates. Try it today and kali oreksi!

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and pulse in food processor in batches to make coarse, soft crumbs. (It should yield about 3 cups.) Toss crumbs with olive oil and spread on a baking sheet. Bake, stirring frequently, until crisp and barely browned, about 15 minutes. Put baked crumbs in a bowl and add garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper and toss well to combine. Set aside. |

Cut peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Place in a low-sided baking dish in one layer. Season cut side lightly with salt. Fill each pepper half with ½ ounce crumbled feta and press in cheese with fingers. With a spoon divide the seasoned crumbs evenly among the pepper halves. |
