GREEN PEPPERS AU GRATIN
Preheat oven to 400°F/205°C. Slice de-seeded peppers into thick strips. Lightly oil (I like olive) the skin side and lay on baking sheet. Mix equal parts of cream cheese, any type of tomato-based sauce (spaghetti, marinara, salsa, etc.), and shredded cheese (cheddar is nice). Add dashes of seasoning to the mix if desired (black pepper is good). Spread mixture onto pepper strips, and add topping if desired. Shown here with slivers of red onion. Garlic slices, olives, or herbs would be delicious, too.
Bake about 10 minutes on top oven rack, or until cheese becomes bubbly and starts to brown. Serve immediately.
