Breakfast Bell Peppers

 These could be any time of day but as a breakfast this can be a great change of pace!

  • 1/2 lb sausage
  • 1/2 lb ham chunks, small
  • 1/2 diced small onion
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup cheese of choice, shredded
  • 4 large eggs

  1. Clean out the halved peppers and sit, face up, on a pan.
  2. Set oven for 350 and bake them until they're softened and slightly puckered.
  3. Meanwhile, in a pan, melt the butter over medium heat
  4. cook the sausage until done, remove
  5. cook the ham until crispy, remove
  6. cook the onion until slightly cooked
  7. Add the meats back in, toss and season 
  8. Remove the peppers from the oven and slightly cool before stuffing, dividing the filling between each.
  9. Place some cheese on each and pop into the oven to bake for around 10 minutes (tops)
  10. On the stove top, melt more butter or use olive oil in a non-stick pan to fry eggs over easy
  11. Remove the cooked peppers and top each with an egg. 
VARIATIONS: You could cook small chunks of sweet potato with the meat to add another level of flavor.
