How to Make Bell Pepper Egg Boats:
Start by slicing the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. This will create a hollowed-out space for the eggs.
Place the bell pepper halves in the air fryer basket, cut side up. Make sure they are stable and won’t tip over.
Crack an egg into each bell pepper half, being careful not to overflow the egg.
Sprinkle some shredded cheese over each bell pepper. I used reduced-fat Mexican cheese.
Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Carefully place the air fryer basket back into the air fryer and cook the bell pepper egg boats for about 10-12 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Once cooked, remove the bell pepper egg boats from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Customize Your Bell Pepper Egg Boats:
Cheese lovers rejoice: Try using your favorite cheese. Cheddar, mozzarella, are all good options.
Get your protein fix: Add some cooked bacon or sausage crumbles to your egg boats for an extra dose of protein. The savory flavors of the meat will complement the sweetness of the peppers and create a hearty and satisfying breakfast.
Veggie overload: Chop up some vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, or onions and mix them in with the eggs before pouring them into the bell pepper halves. This will add a burst of color, flavor, and nutrition to your breakfast.
Spices and herbs galore: Experiment with different herbs and spices to elevate the flavor of your bell pepper egg boats. Try adding a pinch of paprika, chili powder, or cayenne pepper for some heat, or sprinkle some fresh herbs like basil or parsley for a touch of freshness.
Dipping delights: Serve your bell pepper egg boats with a side of your favorite dipping sauce. Whether it’s salsa, hot sauce, or creamy aioli, dipping your egg boats into a flavorful sauce can take them to a whole new level.
Get creative and have fun with customizing your bell pepper egg boats. With endless possibilities, you’ll never get bored of this delicious and nutritious breakfast option.
