Ingredients

  • 3 bell peppers – halved, seeded, and stems removed
  • aluminum foil
  • 4 eggs
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco?) (Optional)
  • ½ pound chorizo sausage
  • ½ cup pico de gallo salsa, drained
  • ½ cup grated Cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2
Place bell peppers, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3
Place in the preheated oven and broil, watching carefully, until the skins begin to bubble and turn dark brown, about 3 minutes. Remove and place browned peppers in a bowl. Cover with aluminum foil and set aside to cool. Leave the broiler on.

Step 4
Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Step 5
Brown chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, breaking up any large pieces as you go, about 4 minutes. Add egg mixture to the skillet and cook until eggs have set, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in drained pico de gallo.

Step 6
Remove as much skin as possible from the cooled pepper halves, and place each half on top of one of the cups of a 6-cup muffin pan. Fill each pepper with chorizo-egg mixture and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.

Step 7
Place in the oven and broil until cheese melts, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
