2 Red bell peppers
1 tablespoon(s) Extra-virgin olive oil
3 Ripe tomatoes, medium dice
3 tablespoon(s) Pesto
to taste Pepper
1/2 cup(s) Bread crumbs
2 tablespoon(s) Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 450;F; grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
2. Cut the peppers in half through the stem (do not remove stem). Remove seeds and membrane; brush with oil, inside and out. Arrange cut-side-up in the prepared baking dish.
3. Toss the tomatoes with the pesto. Fill the pepper halves with equal amounts of this mixture. Sprinkle with olives, herbs (basil and oregano), salt and pepper. (If desired, toss the herbs, salt and pepper with bread crumbs first.)
4. Top with cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the upper edges of the peppers are charred and blistered, and the topping is golden. Serve hot or at room temperature.
