Ingredients and Equipment
What You Will Need
-
Mini Sweet Peppers: Look for a “stoplight” mix of red, orange, and yellow peppers. They should be firm with shiny skin.
-
Shredded Mozzarella or White Cheddar: You want a cheese that melts well and develops those beautiful golden-brown spots.
-
Nigella Seeds (Black Cumin): These provide the signature “crunch” and an earthy, slightly onion-like aroma.
