Ingredients
6 servings
- •3 bell peppers - halved, seeded, and stems removed
- •aluminum foil
- •4 eggs
- •salt and ground black pepper to taste
- •1 dash hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™) (Optional)
- •½ pound chorizo sausage
- •½ cup pico de gallo salsa, drained
- •½ cup grated Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place bell peppers, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place in the preheated oven and broil, watching carefully, until the skins begin to bubble and turn dark brown, about 3 minutes. Remove and place browned peppers in a bowl. Cover with aluminum foil and set aside to cool. Leave the broiler on.
- Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Brown chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, breaking up any large pieces as you go, about 4 minutes. Add egg mixture to the skillet and cook until eggs have set, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in drained pico de gallo.
- Remove as much skin as possible from the cooled pepper halves, and place each half on top of one of the cups of a 6-cup muffin pan. Fill each pepper with chorizo-egg mixture and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
- Place in the oven and broil until cheese melts, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
