Stuffed Breakfast Bell Peppers Recipe Is Farmhouse Fresh by Mee McCormick

Egg and sausage stuffed peppers is an easy and delicious brunch recipe that looks beautiful on the plate. In Pinewood, we make our own sausage with a touch of fennel. The reason for the fennel is it’s a digestive aid and lends a complementary flavor to pork. I make my sausage ahead of time and store it in the fridge until I’m ready to make breakfast or brunch. You can use any type of sausage you’d like for this stuffed bell peppers recipe.

For this farmhouse recipe you'll need red or yellow bell peppers, eggs, non-dairy milk (you could use regular milk if you prefer), chopped scallions (green onions) and pork sausage. First, cook the sausage, crumble and set aside. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, green onions and the cooked sausage in a bowl. Divide the mixture between the halved and seeded bell pepper cups. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes. Done!
