Egg and Veggie Stuffed Peppers

Servings: 6

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon olive oil
½ Tablespoon garlic, minced
¼ cup onion, finely diced
3 large bell peppers
2 cups kale leaves (or other greens), chopped, tough stems and ribs removed
1 cup mushrooms or other vegetable of choice (optional)
6 large eggs
6 Tablespoons part-skim mozzarella or cheddar cheese, or other cheese, shredded
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Slice peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds.
  2. The peppers can be either microwaved or broiled. To microwave: Place pepper halves in a microwave safe baking dish, put a small amount of water in the dish and microwave, covered for about 4 minutes or until tender. To broil: Place peppers, open side down, on a baking sheet and put them under the broiler in the oven for 10 minutes. Once they are finished, remove them from the oven and flip them over.
  3. Set oven to 375 degrees.
  4. Whisk eggs in a small bowl and set aside.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion and kale (and mushrooms or other vegetables, if using.) Cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, until vegetables are softened.
  6. Evenly divide egg mixture among the 6 halves, top with sauteed veggies, then top with cheese.
  7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and the egg is no longer runny
