Why It Works
  • The combination of spinach, bacon, and feta cheese is a classic for a reason. The spinach is wilted until soft, the bacon is crispy and adds a smoky flavor, and the feta cheese is tangy and salty.
  • The addition of Parmesan cheese and egg helps to bind the filling together and gives it a golden brown crust when baked.
  • Baking the bell peppers in a baking dish helps to keep them moist and prevent them from burning.
