Delicious! Fairly easy to make. Served this with recipe#418162 and corn for vegetarian meal. Made as posted except I reduced the oven temp to 375 only so that I could do the sweet potatoes at same time-lazy me loves oven meals. :) Thanks for sharing Boomette.

Wow! These exceeded what I was expecting; the pepper jack cheese is a delightful contrast to the sweet peppers. Made using a half the basil called for as I forgot to put the other half on at the end of the cook time. This is a true keeper. Thanks for the post.

We really loved these peppers! So fresh and light and easy to make. I used garlic salad croutons for the bread pieces and it worked perfectly. Thanks for posting this recipe!

My Husband and I liked this recipe very much. I left out the bread though. It was gooey and cheesy and delicious. Thank you for the recipe.
