Preparation
Cut tops off banana peppers as close to stems as possible. With paring knife, remove cores; with small spoon, scoop out seeds and membranes. Rinse insides to remove any remaining seeds; shake out water.
In small bowl, mix together mozzarella, onion, Parmesan, parsley, capers and pepper; spoon into each pepper, pushing into peppers until 1 inch (2.5 cm) below top. Tear bread and stuff into space to seal.
Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning often, until tender, lightly charred and cheese is melted, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to serving dish; sprinkle with salt. Drizzle with oil as desired.
