Eggs Baked in Peppers

Directions

1. Select well-shaped peppers that will sit upright. Halve them crosswise and remove seeds.

Trim stems but do not make a hole.

1. Parboil peppers in simmering, salted water until just tender, then drain peppers.
2. Break eggs 2 eggs into each pepper half. Season and top with a ½ tablespoon slice of butter.

Place peppers in small baking pan, pour in 1 inch of hot poaching water, and bake briefly at 375℉ (190℃) until eggs set.

1. Ribbon with tomato sauce. My suggestions.

Try a spice such as Szechuan Style Pepper or Herb Pepper Blend instead of the salt and pepper.

This also could be cooked at a low at a medium setting in a microwave oven.
