At the heart of every recipe lies a story, and Grandma's Dish is no exception. This pepper dish is inspired by family culinary traditions, where simple ingredients transform into delicious meals that evoke childhood memories. Moreover, this recipe is not only quick and easy to prepare but also extremely versatile, as it can be enjoyed both warm and cold.

Ingredients:

- 5 roasted peppers (preferably red or yellow for a sweeter taste)
- 1 slice of sweet cheese (about 100g)
- 1 slice of salty cheese (about 100g)
- 1 tablespoon of olive or sunflower oil
- Salt (optional, to taste)

Preparation:

1. Preparing the peppers: Start by peeling the roasted peppers. If you have fresh peppers, you can roast them directly over a flame or in the oven until the skin becomes blackened and blistered. Once cooled, peel off the skin and seeds. Cut them into thin strips, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.

2. Heating the oil: In a non-stick skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking, to preserve the flavor of the dish.

3. Sautéing the peppers: Add the pepper strips to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes. The peppers will start to release their juices and blend their flavors. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

4. Adding the cheeses: Once the peppers have softened and taken on a golden hue, add the crumbled sweet cheese and cubed salty cheese. Gently mix to combine the cheeses with the peppers, allowing them to melt slightly. This step will add a wonderful creaminess to your dish.

5. Seasoning: Taste the dish and add salt only if necessary. The salty cheese already contributes some saltiness, so you may not need more.

6. Serving: Grandma's Dish can be enjoyed both warm and cold. It is perfect as a side dish with meats or as an appetizer alongside a slice of fresh bread.

Helpful tips:
- For an extra flavor boost, you can add some fresh herbs like dill or parsley just before serving.
- If you're looking for a less salty option, you can use a less salty cottage cheese instead of the salty cheese.
- Experiment with different types of peppers (spicy peppers, bell peppers) to achieve various flavors and levels of heat.

Nutritional benefits:
This dish is rich in vitamins A and C, being an excellent source of antioxidants due to the peppers. The cheeses add protein and calcium, contributing to a balanced meal.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use fresh peppers? Yes, but make sure to roast them until they are soft and aromatic.
- How can I store the dish? You can keep the dish in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Ideal pairings:
