Breakfast stuffed peppers are like a keto and low-carb sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich – but are still delicious and filling. Instead of using bread, we’ve tossed our favorite breakfast ingredients into a bell pepper for an even more nutritious breakfast. Make it ahead and heat it up in the morning. And the best bonus? This is sure to be a kid favorite.
Breakfast Stuffed Pepper Ingredients
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350℉ and spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. You could also use olive oil or butter. Cut your NatureSweet® bell peppers in half, cut away the middle, and rinse out the seeds. Place the halves cut side up in your baking dish so that they are able to sit side by side.
