Requiring just three main ingredients—bell peppers, eggs, and shredded cheese—these portable baked eggs are simple to assemble and perfect for meal prep.

3-Ingredient Bell Pepper and Cheese Egg Cups

Active Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Serves 4

• 4 medium bell peppers, any color
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
• 8 large eggs
• 1/4 cup Mexican-blend shredded cheese
• Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

Cut bell peppers in half through the stem end. Remove ribs and seeds. Place the peppers in the pan cut-side up and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Bake the peppers for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and crack 1 egg into each pepper cup. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, then top each with 1/2 tablespoon cheese.

Bake until the egg whites are set, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro, if desired.
