Grilling peppers brings out their natural sweetness and any kind of cheese complements the sweet flavor of yellow bell peppers. Mozzarella is nice or you can try half cheddar and half mozzarella or even goat cheese. You can serve these grilled peppers with a green salad and something crispy such as radishes to contrast with the grilled stuffed peppers' texture.
This recipe is incredibly easy and only takes a few minutes to do, so if you are looking for an easy vegetable side dish, this one is perfect. You can try different peppers because red, green or even orange peppers work well with this grilled vegetable recipe but the sweetness of the yellow pepper makes it a favorite for this dish. Omit the jalapeños if you prefer these milder.
