SPONSORED: We get excited about good food and great ingredients, so we’ve teamed up with Divine Flavor to bring you delicious recipes for each season made with their fresh produce.
Make these meat, cheese and hash brown-stuffed peppers ahead and simply warm them in the oven and top with a fried egg in the morning. They’re the perfect savory breakfast.
Fun fact: I love Stuffed Peppers. I grew up eating my Mom’s Italian version and it was always one of my favorite meals. After years of making it myself, I finally decided to make a Whole30 version with Mexican flavors. And I’m not the only fan – Adam loves those so much that he’s made them himself a few times! So when I partnered up with Divine Flavor to create a recipe using their beautiful peppers, I thought… what if I made ANOTHER version? And then Breakfast Stuffed Peppers were born. Swooooon. 
I’ll admit, these aren’t quite as healthy as the others, but they’re not bad either! The filling is full of the best breakfast flavors – shredded hash browns, sautéed mushrooms and onions, spicy chorizo, melty cheese! And then, you know what I did? I fried up an egg and slapped it right on top to really solidify them as Breakfast Stuffed Peppers. And honestly… these might be my favorite yet.
Now even though I call them Breakfast Stuffed Peppers, you could totally make these for dinner. I also love the idea of prepping a whole tray of these the night before a big brunch party. Once your guests arrive, you just have to pop ’em in the oven and fry up some eggs – so much easier than making something from scratch that same morning!
PS. If you’re watching your diet, or you’re lactose-intolerant, you don’t have to add the extra cheese on top or even in the mixture at all! But if you aren’t either of those things, I say just go for it. Who doesn’t like a cheesy breakfast?!
You could definitely cook the eggs different ways, but I recommend keeping a runny yolk if you can. It’s so satisfying when you break it and it drips into the filling – it creates the BEST sauce!
Love peppers? If you haven’t already, you need to try mini sweet peppers, called Tribelli. Check out these recipes.
