Ingredients:

4 red peppers
480g
1 package frozen spinach
280g
4 eggs
180g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Peppers:
- Wash the bell peppers thoroughly under cold water.
- Slice the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and membranes from inside.
- If the peppers do not stand upright on their own, you can trim the bottoms slightly to create a flat surface, ensuring they maintain their shape.
3. Cook the Spinach:
- Thaw the frozen spinach by microwaving it according to the package instructions or by placing it in a colander and running warm water over it.
- Once thawed, squeeze out as much excess water as possible to avoid a watery filling.
4. Stuff the Peppers:
- Place the hollowed peppers on a baking dish, standing upright.
- Evenly distribute the thawed and drained spinach into each pepper, filling them about halfway.
- Carefully crack one egg into each pepper on top of the spinach, ensuring the yolk stays intact.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Optionally, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top and sprinkle with grated cheese and/or preferred herbs and spices.
5. Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully cooked and the yolks are set to your desired consistency. If you prefer a runny yolk, start checking around the 25-minute mark.
- If using cheese, you can broil the peppers for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end of the cooking time to melt and brown the cheese slightly.
6. Serve:
- Once baked, remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Transfer the stuffed peppers to serving plates and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.

Tips:

- Pre-cook the peppers: Blanch the red peppers in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before stuffing them to ensure they are tender after baking.

- Drain spinach thoroughly: After thawing the frozen spinach, make sure to squeeze out excess water to prevent the stuffing from becoming too watery.

- Add seasoning: Enhance the flavor by adding salt, pepper, garlic powder, or your favorite herbs to the spinach and egg mixture.

- Use cheese: For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the stuffed peppers before baking.

- Experiment with add-ins: Feel free to add other ingredients such as diced onions, tomatoes, or mushrooms to the spinach and egg mixture for added taste and texture.
