Whenever I’m in a rush for a fast, healthy low-sugar dinner, this is one of my go-to recipes. These tasty eggs baked in peppers are surprisingly filling and are really simple to prepare. Served on a bed of green salad, they also look fantastic! Make the salad big and bright to maximize your intake of healthy nutrients without adding calories to the meal. Personally, I always use orange peppers and to make this recipe easier to cook, choose ones with three or four bumps on their bottoms. Take a look and you’ll soon see what I mean. The more solidly your peppers stand up, the better. Apparently this means that they are male peppers as female peppers have a single bump. Who knew!?
