Step-by-Step Instructions for Breakfast Stuffed Peppers

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your baking dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, green onions, and thawed spinach until well combined. Stir in the cheddar cheese.
  • Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Arrange the halved peppers cut-side up in a greased baking dish.
  • Spoon the egg mixture into each pepper half, filling them generously. Sprinkle any remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  • For the slow cooker method, line it with foil, fill the peppers with the egg mixture, cover, and cook on low for 3-4 hours.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze individual peppers tightly wrapped for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
