Instructions
- 1Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Wash and peel the green bell peppers. Carefully remove the seeds and any white membranes from the inside of the peppers. This can be done by roasting the peppers in the oven for 10 minutes to soften them, then peeling.
- 2In a small bowl, mix together the salt and red pepper flakes. In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cheese and cubed bread. Moisten the bread mixture with tomato juice, mixing until just combined.
- 3Fill each pepper with the cheese and bread mixture. Secure the peppers with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
- 4In a shallow dish, beat the egg. In another shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs. Dip each stuffed pepper in the beaten egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 5Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the breaded peppers until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 6Serve the Spanish Cheese and Pepper Fritters immediately with Spanish sauce and a circle of hard-boiled egg slices.
