Colorful, fun, and completely grain-free. Each pepper half becomes a natural edible “bowl.”
Ingredients
- 2 large bell peppers (any color), halved and seeds removed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 oz lean turkey sausage, crumbled and cooked
- 2 tbsp diced tomato
- 1 oz shredded cheddar
- Salt, pepper, hot sauce to taste
- Fresh parsley to garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place pepper halves cut-side up in a baking dish. Press lightly so they sit flat.
- Add a small amount of cooked turkey crumbles to each pepper half.
- Carefully crack one egg into each pepper half.
Top with diced tomato and shredded cheese.
- Bake 20–25 minutes until eggs are set to your liking.
- Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Garnish with parsley.
Notes
Use foil to level the baking dish if peppers tip. Red and yellow peppers are sweeter; green peppers are more savory and pair better with eggs. Double the recipe — these reheat well in the microwave for 90 seconds.
