Spanish STUFFED PEPPERS with Garlic Bread & Cheese | EASY Recipe

These Spanish Stuffed Peppers with Garlic Bread & Cheese are absolutely delicious. They´re filled with flavors, super easy to make and done in a little over 30 minutes. Serve them as a tapas appetizer or even as a side dish. They work great next to some Spanish Garlic Eggs.

To make this recipe I used a red and yellow bell pepper. But you can also use green or even orange bell peppers. For the stuffing I used a baguette. Which is very typical in Spain. But you can use any bread you like or whatever you have on hand, including gluten free bread.

I topped the peppers off with some Manchego cheese and a dash of hot smoked Spanish paprika. The combination of these two ingredients really elevated the flavors of the garlic bread stuffing. If you can´t find Manchego in your area, you can use any other type of cheese you like.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I used a food processor to make the stuffing. But you can also use a handheld blender or even a stand up blender. When stuffing the peppers, make sure to push down on the stuffing. That way you can fill them with as much of the bread mixture as possible.
