Hot Banana Peppers

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Banana Peppers

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the banana peppers and remove the seeds carefully.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled gorgonzola cheese, chopped anchovy fillets, minced garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Peppers

    Spoon the gorgonzola mixture into each banana pepper until they are fully stuffed.

  4. 4

    Bake the Peppers

    Place the stuffed banana peppers on a baking sheet and drizzle with a little more olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the peppers are tender and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Crostini

    While the peppers are baking, prepare the crostini by toasting the slices of bread in the oven until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the peppers are cooked, remove them from the oven. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm alongside the crostini.
