Top green, red and yellow bell peppers with cheese, olives and crushed red pepper for an appetizer that's bursting with color and flavor.
By Betty Crocker Kitchens
Updated May 10, 2005

Ingredients

  • 1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 6 strips
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 6 strips
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into 6 strips
  • 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (3 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped ripe olives
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Steps

  • 1
    Cut bell pepper strips crosswise in half. Arrange close together in ungreased broilerproof pie pan, 9x1 1/4 inches, or round pan, 9x2 inches. Sprinkle with cheese, olives and red pepper.
  • 2
    Set oven control to broil. Broil peppers with tops 3 to 4 inches from heat about 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Rajas "strips" usually refers to ribbons of chilies.
  • tip 2
    No need to limit yourself to Monterey Jack cheese. Use any variety you’d like, or use both a yellow and a white cheese for color contrast.
