Roll stuffed peppers in flour, dip in egg mixture, then coat with bread crumb mixture. Place in shallow baking dish allowing a little space between each pepper; bake at 350ºF. 30 minutes or until golden brown and thoroughly heated. Serve immediately. *Substitute a mixture of 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1/2 cup feta cheese for the queso fresco, if desired. Serving Size: 6 Source: Viva Arroz!
