Baked Pepper Casserole Steps
This dish, besides being served as a second course after a first dish, can also be presented as an appetizer at buffets or even for an aperitif. So, take the peppers, clean them by removing the seeds and ribs and slice them into not too thin strips lengthwise.
In an oven dish or a non-stick pan, place the peppers, seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake and cook in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for 25 minutes, the peppers should be well cooked.
While the peppers are cooking, break the eggs into a bowl, beat them with a fork, then add the grated parmesan, chopped chives, and diced emmental. You can also use provola or another type of cheese you have in the fridge. Mix all the ingredients well.
Pour the mixture over the peppers and bake again, letting it cook for another 15 minutes or as long as necessary to set the mixture and melt the cheese.
After cooking, remove from oven, let rest about 10 minutes out of the oven before serving at the table.
