Ingredients

  • 3 medium capsicums (bell peppers)
  • 1/3 carrot
  • 5 chive stems
  • 6 eggs beaten well
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper
  • grated cheese optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 200˚C (400˚F).
  2. Cut the tops off the capsicums (bell peppers) and hollow them out without piercing to make three bowls.
  3. Chop the carrot and chives. Mix with the beaten eggs, garlic powder, and a good amount of salt and pepper.
  4. Fill the capsicums (bell peppers) with the egg mixture up to 5 millimeters (1/4 inch) from the top. You can fill the remaining space with a handful of grated cheese, if desired.
  5. Put the stuffed capsicums (bell peppers) and tops on a baking tray. Place a small ramekin filled with water next to the capsicums (bell peppers) to prevent them from drying out during cooking and bake for 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
