Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 large bell peppers, halved and seeds removed
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach or kale
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes or bell pepper scraps
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Cheese & Toppings
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- Optional toppings: avocado, salsa, hot sauce, fresh herbs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Peppers: Place the halved bell peppers cut-side up in the greased baking dish, arranging them so they are stable for filling.
- Mix Egg Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Fold in the chopped spinach or kale, diced tomatoes or bell pepper scraps, and half of the shredded cheese to incorporate flavors evenly.
- Fill Peppers: Pour the egg mixture evenly into each pepper half, filling them up carefully to avoid spilling.
- Add Cheese & Bake: Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of each stuffed pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the peppers are tender.
- Cool & Serve: Let the stuffed peppers cool slightly before adding any optional toppings such as avocado, salsa, hot sauce, or fresh herbs. Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy, nourishing breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute kale for spinach depending on your preference or what’s available.
- Use dairy or non-dairy milk according to dietary needs to keep it versatile.
- Adding extra vegetables like onions or mushrooms can enhance flavor and nutrition.
- Optional toppings add freshness and an extra flavor dimension but are not necessary.
- Make sure to bake until eggs are fully set to ensure food safety and the perfect texture.
