Baked Eggs in Peppers

And the adventure begins…

I am not a big fan of bell peppers, but I thought, “Why not? They are very healthy for you and this is such a creative way to eat eggs!”
My thoughts after eating them? Well, I think you would love this fairly simple breakfast if you love peppers. 🙂

BAKED EGGS IN PEPPERS
