How to make egg stuffed peppers:

  1. Cut the top off the peppers by laying the peppers on their sides, and slicing the top so that you have one even cut removing the stem and the top of the pepper.
  2. Use your hands or the knife to remove the white ribs inside the peppers.
  3. Take the top of the pepper, remove the stem and chop the pepper to use in the veggie filling.
  4. Place the peppers in the holes of a large muffin tin, or in single ramekins, so they can easily stay upright.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the vegetables you want to add to the egg stuffed peppers, 4-5 minutes until cooked. 
  6. While the veggies are cooking, crack the eggs and egg whites in a large bowl, add whatever spices you want, and mix this together with a fork.
  7. After vegetables are done sauteing, turn off the skillet. 
  8. Using a large spoon or tongs, divide the vegetable mixture equally between the peppers.
  9. Pour the egg mixture between the peppers, covering the vegetables.
  10. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the tops are firm to the touch.
