Stuffed peppers are one of the favorites. However, when pronouncing this phrase, many immediately mean the traditional hot second course. Since most often peppers are stuffed with rice and meat, less often with vegetables or mushrooms. But, today, for lovers of hot snacks, I propose a more dietary option, bake peppers in the oven, taking cottage cheese and chopped herbs as allies. Just 10-15 minutes and the delicious dish is ready to serve. An appetizer is prepared from completely accessible, and most importantly, loved by most products that do not require special culinary tricks in preparation.
Surely many people cannot even imagine combining cottage cheese with vegetables. Since cottage cheese is mainly associated with a breakfast dish with fresh fruit or jam, and vegetables, of course, with a salad. But dairy products in a company with vegetables and herbs are turning into a real festive dish. In addition, this snack is low in calories and very healthy. It contains a lot of fiber, calcium, vitamins, antioxidants and minerals.

Cooking baked peppers stuffed with cottage cheese
1. Place the curd in a deep container. Add ground paprika, chopped dill, a pinch of salt and pepper to it.
2. Stir the curd filling well, kneading all the lumps.
3. Wash the pepper under running water, dry with a paper towel and cut in half. Core with the seeds, while leaving the tails, otherwise it will not hold its shape.
I advise you to take exactly sweet fruits with thick fleshy walls for this dish, since thin-walled ones will keep their shape worse.
4. Stuff the pepper tightly with the curd filling.
5. Grate the hard cheese on a medium grater and sprinkle the curd filling on top.
6. Place the peppers in a baking dish, cover them with a lid or cling foil and bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 15 minutes.
7. Put the prepared baked peppers stuffed with cottage cheese on a dish and serve as a snack. It can be consumed both hot and cold.
