Ingredients
- 2 red bell peppers
- 4 ounces breakfast sausage cooked and crumbled
- 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- ½ cup shredded cheddar
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the peppers in half from top to bottom. Remove seeds and membranes and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add ¼ cup of water. Place the peppers in the water, cut side down, and cover the pan. Cook for 4 minutes.
- Remove the lid and flip the peppers over with tongs. Use a paper towel to blot dry the insides. Add the sausage, bacon, and cheddar to the peppers, leaving enough space for an egg.
- Carefully crack an egg into each pepper.
- Add an additional ¼ cup of water to the skillet.
- Cover the pan and continue cooking on medium low heat for 5-10 minutes, depending on how runny you’d like your egg yolks.
- Season with salt and pepper before serving

Notes
When filling the peppers, use a ball of foil to prop the peppers up or lean them against each other to prevent the egg from spilling out.
