2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

In a separate bowl mix together the ingredients for the stuffing.

Place stems back on top of pepper closing it so the stuffing does not come.

With a pointed, sharp knife, pierce the peppers at several intervals before frying.

Turn peppers over to brown evenly. Remove from pan when cooked and place in a serving dish lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
