Stuffed Bell Pepper Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 2):

• 2 Bell Peppers (any color combination)
• 1/4 cup (50g) Chopped Sausage (Italian or your preferred)
• 1/4 cup (50g) Chopped Onion
• 1/2 cup (75g) Shredded Zucchini
• 1/4 cup (25g) Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 2 Large Eggs
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• Optional Toppings: Chopped fresh herbs, crumbled feta cheese, avocado slices

Equipment Needed:

• Knife
• Cutting Board
• Skillet or Frying Pan
• Spoon
• Baking Dish (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep the Peppers: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) if using. Wash and halve the bell peppers, removing the seeds and membranes.
2. Sauté the Veggies: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and onion, cooking until the sausage is browned and the onion is softened. Stir in the shredded zucchini and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
3. Assemble the Peppers: Season the cooked vegetables with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture evenly between the bell pepper halves. Top each half with shredded cheese.
4. Cook the Eggs (Optional): If using the oven, transfer the stuffed peppers to a baking dish. Crack an egg into each pepper half, carefully placing it on top of the filling. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the cheese is melted.
5. Stovetop Option: Alternatively, create a small well in the center of the filling in each pepper half. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the cheese is melted.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, top with your favorite garnishes like chopped fresh herbs, crumbled feta cheese, or avocado slices.
