Hi Nina and Tamara!
We're so sorry! Fixed now!
This is from the recipe
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the peppers in half, discard the seeds and place the peppers in a greased baking dish.
Drizzle olive oil on top of the peppers and place them in the oven while you are preparing the filling. If you prefer a crunchier pepper, you can skip this and just bake them after you’ve filled them.
Thanks !

Step 3 addresses the amount of time in the oven - just while you prepare the filling, or you can skip that step if you prefer a crunchier pepper.
You can use any kind of cheese you prefer. When it's not crucial to the dish, we try to leave the options open as cheese availability can vary by region and country.
