Fried bell pepper with cheese
Description
This appetizer is quick and easy to make. Sweet bell pepper pairs very well with cheese, and thanks to the breading, the dish turns out juicy inside with an appetizing crispy crust on the outside. It can be served cold, but in my opinion this pepper is especially good hot, straight from the heat. For the filling, you can use not only Adygei cheese, but also bryndza or cottage cheese. It's very tasty — be sure to try it. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
