Delicious and Healthy Egg Stuffed Bell Peppers Recipe
Egg stuffed bell peppers are a delightful and nutritious dish that combines the flavors of colorful bell peppers and protein-rich eggs.
Ingredients
- 4 bell peppers (any color you prefer)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper. Cut off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse them well.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and mushrooms, and sauté until they become tender and lightly browned.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the vegetable mixture evenly into the bell peppers, leaving some space at the top for the egg.
- Crack one egg into each bell pepper, taking care not to overflow. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of each egg-stuffed pepper.
- Place the stuffed bell peppers on the prepared baking dish and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Once done, remove the bell peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve hot.
