Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peppers: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them upright in a baking dish.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cooked Italian sausage, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in half of the mozzarella cheese.

  5. Serve: Allow the stuffed peppers to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious breakfast!
