400 g white bread, i usually use a white farmhouse style loaf
1 small red bell pepper, sliced
1 small yellow bell pepper
1 small courgette, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 tablespoon herbes de provence or 1 tablespoon oregano
2 -3 cloves garlic, minced
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 -1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
olive oil, for frying

Steps:

Slice the top of the loaf of bread and scoop out the soft part in the middle, leaving about 1 inch all around.
(It's up to you what you do with it, sometimes I leave it out and use it in another dish, other times I cut 1/2 of it into cubes and fry it with the vegetables.).
In a skillet heat the olive oil and fry all the veg, adding seasoning and garlic, until softened, approx 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and pour out any liquid.
Now layer the veg and cheese into the hollowed out bread and replace the top.
Wrap the whole loaf in aluminium foil, place on a tray and bake in the middle of a preheated oven (180°C/350°F/Gas 4) for about 40-45 minutes, until heated through and all the cheese has melted.
Slice with a very sharp knife and serve imidiatly.
