Breakfast Stuffed Peppers
Delicious and easy breakfast stuffed peppers filled with chorizo and mushrooms! They're great for meal prep and feeding a crowd.
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
Add chorizo and cook, breaking the meat apart until it’s fully cooked through, about 8 minutes.
-
Transfer the cooked chorizo mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add shredded cheese and stir together to combine.
-
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.
-
Carefully crack an egg into the top of each bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Bake uncovered for 25-28 minutes for a runny yolk, or 32-35 minutes for a fully cooked yolk.
-
Top with chopped cilantro, cotija cheese and sliced radishes. Serve immediately.
