Instructions:

- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Carefully remove the stuffed peppers from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired.
