Description

Savory stuffed breakfast peppers filled with chorizo, hash browns, and cheese, topped with a perfectly fried egg for a hearty start to your day.


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

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Add the chorizo to the pan, crumbling it as it cooks. Cook until the chorizo is completely cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are soft.
  5. 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.
  6. Cut the tops off the red peppers and remove the seeds. Place them in a baking dish.
  7. Fill each pepper with the hash brown and chorizo mixture. If using, sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the filling.
  8. Bake the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
