Red pepper and kaşar cheese pan dish Calories

The basic ingredients are red peppers, kaşar cheese, a little oil, and seasoning. Black pepper or chilli flakes work well; adding tomatoes or eggs makes it a different, wetter and more filling variation.

Red pepper and kaşar cheese pan dish can turn watery when the peppers release moisture faster than it evaporates. Dry the peppers after washing, avoid crowding the pan, and cook them uncovered until excess liquid has gone before adding the cheese.

Serve red pepper and kaşar cheese pan dish with crusty bread, a crisp green salad, or plain yogurt. Bread is useful for scooping up the melted cheese, while salad adds a fresh contrast to the warm, savoury peppers.

Keep leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat them within three to four days. Reheat only the portion you need in a covered pan over low heat, until it is steaming hot.

You can freeze it, but thawed peppers may be softer and kaşar may lose some of its smooth texture. For a better result, freeze individual portions, thaw them in the refrigerator, and reheat gently in a pan.
