Eggs Baked In Peppers - Washington Time Recipe


   
Recipe Categories: Breakfast Recipes
Average Rating: (1 vote)
Yield: 4 servings
 
Ingredients
  2  lg Round red peppers  
  8   Eggs  
    Salt and pepper  
  2  tb Unsalted butter  
  1  c Tomato sauce  
 
Instructions
 
  1. Select well-shaped peppers that will sit upright. Halve them crosswise and remove seeds. Trim stems but do not make a hole.

 
  2. Parboil peppers in simmering, salted water until just tender, then drain peppers.

 
  3. Break eggs 2 eggs into each pepper half. Season and top with a 1/2 tablespoon slice of butter. Place peppers in small baking pan, pour in 1 inch of hot poaching water, and bake briefly at 375 degrees until eggs set.

 
  4. Ribbon with tomato sauce.

 
  My suggestions. Try a spice such as Szechuan Style Pepper or Herb Pepper Blend instead of the salt and pepper. (Szechuan is copied from the label of a McCormick spice jar. Spell checker suggests the spelling Szechwan.)

 
  This also could be cooked at a low at a medium setting in a microwave oven.
