Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 large onion, chopped
- 1/2 lb chorizo
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
- 1 1/2 heaping cups shredded hash browns
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 Divine Flavor red peppers
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Chop the onion and add it to a sauté pan with olive oil over medium heat. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chorizo to the pan, crumbling it as it cooks. Cook until the chorizo is completely cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are soft.
- Stir in the shredded hash browns and cook for another 5 minutes, until they begin to brown slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut the tops off the red peppers and remove the seeds. Place them in a baking dish.
- Fill each pepper with the hash brown and chorizo mixture. If using, sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the filling.
- Bake the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
- While the peppers are baking, fry the eggs in a separate pan to your desired doneness. A runny yolk is recommended for a sauce-like effect.
- Once the peppers are done, top each with a fried egg and serve immediately.
Notes
These stuffed peppers can be made ahead and reheated in the oven. For a healthier version, omit the cheese. If you’re lactose intolerant, you can skip the cheese entirely. Serve with a runny egg for a delicious sauce effect. Perfect for brunch parties as they can be prepared in advance.
