How to Make Bulgarian Pepper And Cheese Casserole

  1. Soak 1 cup bulgur in 2 cups boiling water for at least 20 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Grease a small (approximately 1.5-quart) casserole dish with 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
  5. Add 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced, and 2 bell peppers (any color), chopped, to the skillet. Cook until heated through (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon tamari, 1 tablespoon sherry, 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, and 1 large egg, beaten.
  8. Drain any excess water from the bulgur and spread it evenly in the prepared casserole dish.
  9. Top the bulgur with the pepper mixture, then the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
  10. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
