🥄 Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, (diced)
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, (chopped)
  • 8 ounces Mexican chorizo ((homemade or store-bought))
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs
  • salt and black pepper, (to taste)
  • Chopped cilantro, cotija cheese, and sliced radishes (for topping)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Slice peppers in half lengthwise, then using a small knife, carefully remove the seeds and membranes. Arrange peppers cut side up in a large baking dish.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and mushrooms. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions have softened and mushrooms have cooked down.

  3. Add chorizo and cook, breaking the meat apart until it’s fully cooked through, about 8 minutes.

  4. Transfer the cooked chorizo mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add shredded cheese and stir together to combine.

  5. Spoon the mixture inside the bell peppers, filling about 3/4 full. Make sure to leave a little room so the egg will fit in nice and securely.

  6. Carefully crack an egg into the top of each bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. Bake uncovered for 25-28 minutes for a runny yolk, or 32-35 minutes for a fully cooked yolk.

  8. Top with chopped cilantro, cotija cheese and sliced radishes. Serve immediately.
