Ingredients You’ll Need

• 3 bell peppers various colors if desired
• 6 eggs
• cherry tomatoes chopped
• red onion diced
• olives chopped
• feta cheese crumbled
• nitrate free deli turkey meat chopped
• cheddar cheese shredded
• chives chopped
• bacon cooked and crumbles
• corn organic frozen thawed or fresh
• sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to your taste
• cooking spray

Keep it simple. Buy colorful peppers because life looks better with color. Also use nitrate free deli turkey if you care about cleaner meat choices. If not, do you boo.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees f. Make sure the oven actually warms up. Preheating matters.
2. Cut the pepper in half vertically right through the middle of the stem as shown and through to the bottom of the pepper. Use a sharp knife and steady hands.
3. Cut out the seeds and place the peppers on the prepared baking tray. Line the tray with foil or parchment if you like easy cleanup.
4. Lightly spray with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper then roast for 10 minutes. Roasting softens the pepper and gets some nice color.
5. Once the peppers are done roasting take them out of the oven and very gently crack an egg into each one. Try not to break the yolk unless you want it mixed.
6. Add your favorite topping combo to each such as
   • tomato onions olives feta cheese
   • deli meat cheddar chives
   • bacon jalapeño and corn
     Mix and match like a breakfast DJ.
7. Return to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes more or until eggs whites are completely set. Keep an eye on them if you like runny yolks.
8. Season with sea salt and pepper if desired and enjoy hot Enjoy them straight from the pan or transfer to a plate

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Thinking you do not need to preheat the oven rookie mistake. The peppers will roast unevenly if you skip it.
• Overcrowding the baking tray. Give each pepper half a stage to perform. Crowded peppers steam instead of roast.
• Cracking the egg with too much force and splashing it everywhere. Gentle taps win here.
• Walking away and forgetting to check eggs. Do you like your yolk molten or hard That determines your babysitting level.
• Overfilling with toppings so the egg cannot properly cook. Less is sometimes more especially with eggs.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• No feta Try goat cheese or omit cheese entirely if you are dairy free. I will not judge.
• No deli turkey Use smoked salmon or cooked sausage or just go full veg with spinach and mushrooms.
• Want lower calories Skip the bacon or use turkey bacon or extra veggies. It still tastes great.
• Egg allergies Use a tofu scramble to fill the pepper. It is a different vibe but still yummy.
• No bell peppers Try sweet potato halves as a base for a similar breakfast hack. If you like sweet potato boats here is a great one I like sometimes

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q Will the peppers fall over while baking
A Maybe unless you flatten their bottoms a bit or nestle them in a muffin tin. You can also prop them against the tray rim.

Q Can I make these ahead of time
A Yes you can roast the peppers ahead then crack the eggs and bake when ready. Keeps life less chaotic.

Q How do I get runny yolks every time
A Bake closer to 12 minutes and check. Oven times vary so start checking early. Or finish with a quick broil for firm whites and soft yolks.

Q Are these freezer friendly
A Not great frozen with eggs inside. You can freeze roasted peppers and add a fresh egg when reheating.

Q Can I use more than one egg per pepper
A Sure if the pepper is big enough. I would not go crazy unless you like egg explosions.

Q Any tips for picky eaters
A Let them pick their toppings before assembly. Kids love being topping DJs.

Q What if my pepper cooks faster than the egg
A Remove the pepper earlier and keep it warm then add the egg when you are ready to finish cooking.
