I’ve been getting a lot of gypsy peppers in my CSA basket since they are in season. Gypsy pepper is a sweet pepper similar to a yellow bell pepper, except smaller in size and a bit more delicate.
Having decided upon baked peppers for dinner, I wandered around the grocery store and decided to walk on the wild side with some raw milk cheese. I got the Organic Valley Raw Milk Jack cheese. Turns out it’s pretty damn tasty and it cooked up great.
I wanted to keep the peppers simple and make them super kid friendly. I also wanted them to be almost like finger foods. You can definitely eat this as a main dish (which I did) or have it as a side (or appetizer, if you are getting all fancy and having a dinner party).
Like a caterpillar, they are cute but not yet ready to fly. I sprinkled oregono on these but it’s not necessary to the recipe
Voila! The butterflies emerge from their oven cocoon and fly straight into my mouth
This is a very simple recipe and one kids can help out with!
I had them the next night as well. I’ll be honest – they are better fresh from the oven than as leftovers. I mean, I’ll eat the rest again tomorrow (hey, it’s tough cooking for one), but they taste best the night you make them.
The whole time I was cooking, the cat’s butt was dangling out of her cat tree
