Ingredients
- 10 ounce breakfast sausages
- 1 medium onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 potatoes diced small
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- 4 bell peppers cut in half lengthwise (see photos)
- 8 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the sausage from the package and chop it into small pieces. (Note: you may peel off the casing, if you'd like.) Add the sausage and onion to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the onion is soft and the sausage is cooked through, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Add the garlic and potatoes to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
- Arrange the bell pepper halves in a casserole dish. Divide the sausage hash between the bell peppers, pressing it firmly down. Carefully crack an egg into each pepper. Pour a cup of water into the casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are soft set. Serve right away.

Notes
- To make this dish ahead, cook the sausage hash and press it into the bell pepper halves. When you are ready for breakfast, crack the eggs into the peppers while your oven is preheating.
