I am looking for a healthy snack that will still satisfy my taste buds more than some of the other diet snacks. Have any ideas?
INGREDIENTS
- baby bell peppers (they come approx. 15 in a cellophane bag)
- 5-6 eggs
- TBSP milk (optional)
Fillings – I made two types (but any filling goes!):
Greek: Sundried tomatoes, feta cheese, kalamata olives, green onions, tomatoes, shallots
Veggie/Cheese: Shallots, yellow zucchini, mushrooms, green onions, tomatoes, shredded mozzarella, parmaesan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F
- Slice tops off peppers and remove seeds
- Parboil the peppers for 4 minutes
- “Prop” the peppers upright in an oven dish
- Whisk eggs (5 to 6 eggs for 15 peppers) with a TBSP of milk (optional for extra fluffiness)
- Stir desired fillings into the eggs, then spoon mixture into the peppers (don’t be afraid to fill them right to the rim)
- Sprinkle a little extra parmesan on top before they go in the oven, if desired.
- Bake for 15 – 18 minutes, or until egg is firm
-
- These are awesome leftover for lunch, chopped up and put over a green salad!
