Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice off the tops of the red peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
- Lightly brush the outsides with a tiny bit of olive oil. Set them aside.
- Heat 1/2 tsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it starts to become translucent.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for another 5 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- Stir in the roughly chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season the mixture with a dash of salt. Mix well and remove from heat.
- Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetable mixture among the hollowed red peppers.
- Carefully pour the egg whites into each pepper, filling them almost to the top. The egg whites will expand slightly while cooking.
- Place the filled peppers upright in a baking dish. If they don’t stand upright, you can use crumpled aluminum foil to help stabilize them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the peppers are slightly tender.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of cheese, or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
Tips:
- Pre-cook the mushrooms and spinach to reduce their moisture content, this will prevent the peppers from becoming soggy.
- Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and membranes to ensure they can hold the stuffing properly.
- Use a baking dish that snugly fits the peppers to keep them upright while baking.
- If you prefer, you can add spices or herbs, such as oregano or basil, for additional flavor.
- Feel free to prepare the filling the night before and refrigerate to save time in the morning.
In just a few simple steps, you can enjoy a hearty and nutritious breakfast that's as Instagram-worthy as it is tasty. These stuffed breakfast peppers with spinach, mushrooms, and egg whites are sure to become a morning favorite. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and start your day on the right foot!
