I really enjoyed this! I placed a sunnyside up egg over the top and had it for breakfast. I did use fresh breadcrumbs. Thanks! Made for PRMR game.

Simple yet delicious way to prepare peppers! I cut this back to 2 peppers and basically eyeballed the ingredient quantities (probably used more garlic than called for). Great as is, next time I may add a sprinkling of crushed red pepper flakes. Served with some cheese toast for a filling and healthy lunch - thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for the Best of 2011 event, recommended by Chocolatl

I quartered the recipe for the 3 of us, and now wish I'd made a bit more. I substituted a bit more cheese for the bread crumbs, but otherwise made as written. A very delicious and unusual vegetable dish. Thanks for posting!

What a colorful and nice side this made. Nice sweet mild flavors that would lean themselves well to a verity of main dishes. This dish was made as written, did wish the bread crumbs had stuck a better. Thank for the post.

Delicious, and so, so easy. I made with two Cubanelle peppers that I normally fry whole in olive oil, but wanted to do something different this time. Thanks for the post!
