Bell Pepper Omelet Boats

Bell Pepper Omelet Boats

Bell Pepper Omelet Boats

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Eggs* *I used small peppers and lots of veggies, so 4 eggs was plenty. You might need more or less depending on your egg to veggie ratio.
  • 2 Bell Peppers
  • 2 Tbsp Milk
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Your favorite omelet fixings! For my basic omeletboat, I like mushrooms, onion, green chili, and cheese. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°
  • Cut the bell peppers in half and clean out the seeds. Note: Be sure to keep the stems attached to prevent the egg mixture from leaking.
  • In a glass baking dish, add a splash of water to barely fill the bottom, then add your peppers cut-side up. Bake the empty peppers for 7 minutes.
  • While peppers are in the oven, saute your meats and veggies on the stovetop. (This is a great time to dig through the fridge to use whatever leftover produce you can find. I typically saute 2-3 different kinds of vegetables together. My husband prefers bacon in his omelet boat, so I cook a few slices in the microwave to quickly make them deliciously crispy.)
  • Lightly whisk your eggs, mix in some milk, and stir in your prepared omelet fixings. Add salt and pepper.
  • Pour the omelet mixture into the bell pepper vessels. 
  • Cook for approximately 40 minutes or until your egg mixture is set. 

Notes

Not eating your bell pepper omelet boats right away? You can store your cooked omelet boats in the fridge and then reheat about 90 seconds in the microwave for a warm and satisfying meal.
I don’t advise freezing — my own experience has shown me that bell peppers tend to lose their shape if they’re stored in the freezer and then thawed.
