Description

Imagine starting your day with a vibrant burst of color and flavor, all nestled within a sweet red bell pepper. These delightful breakfast cups offer a unique twist on classic morning fare, transforming simple ingredients into an elegant and satisfying dish. Picture this: a fluffy, golden egg batter, gently cooked inside the curved walls of a halved red bell pepper.

The pepper itself becomes a natural bowl, imparting a subtle sweetness and a slight vegetal note that perfectly complements the richness of the eggs. As the egg mixture bakes, it rises and puffs, creating a light and airy texture that contrasts beautifully with the crisp tenderness of the pepper. But the magic doesn't stop there.

These vibrant cups are generously filled with savory treasures. Crispy bacon, rendered to perfection, adds a smoky, salty depth that awakens the palate. The bacon crumbles provide a delightful textural contrast to the soft eggs and tender pepper.

Then comes the cheese, melted to gooey perfection, blanketing the bacon and eggs in a warm, comforting embrace. The cheese stretches with each bite, adding a creamy, decadent layer to the symphony of flavors. The combination of the sweet pepper, savory bacon, and creamy cheese is simply irresistible.

As these breakfast cups bake, the bottoms develop a slightly charred edge, adding a subtle, caramelized flavor that elevates the dish to new heights. This touch of smokiness provides a delightful counterpoint to the sweetness of the pepper and the richness of the other ingredients. Each bite is an explosion of textures and tastes – the soft, yielding eggs, the crisp bacon, the melted cheese, and the tender-crisp pepper, all harmonizing in perfect balance.

These breakfast cups are not only delicious but also visually appealing. The vibrant red of the pepper, the golden hue of the eggs, and the flecks of bacon and cheese create a stunning presentation that is sure to impress. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast for yourself or a show-stopping dish to serve to guests, these bacon and cheese-filled pepper cups are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

They are a delightful way to start the day, offering a satisfying combination of flavors and textures that will leave you feeling energized and ready to take on anything.

Instructions

    1.
    Prepare 4 slices of red bell pepper (about 3 inches tall) from 2 large peppers. Slice off tops/bottoms, remove cores, and slice each pepper into 2 pieces. Ensure clean cuts and flat bottoms. Place peppers in olive oil in a medium skillet on very low heat.
    2.
    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
    3.
    Pour egg mixture into each bell pepper piece (approx. 1 egg equivalent per piece). Sprinkle bacon bits and shredded cheddar evenly over each portion, allowing them to sink into the egg mixture.
    4.
    Cover skillet and increase heat to medium or medium-low. Cook for up to 10 minutes (or longer) until eggs are cooked through and peppers have charred bottoms. Adjust heat/add olive oil to prevent burning. Use a spatula to remove cooked peppers and garnish with chopped green onion, parsley, or chives.
