Ingredients

  • 2 large Bell peppers
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes inside. If the bell peppers wobble, slice a small amount off the bottom to make them stable. Place them in a lightly greased baking dish.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Stir in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving the rest for topping.

Step 5

Brush the inside of the bell peppers lightly with olive oil.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly into the hollowed-out bell peppers. Be careful not to overfill.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of each bell pepper.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the eggs are set and the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the stuffed peppers to cool slightly before garnishing with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Egg Stuffed Breakfast Bell Pepper!
