Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lrg Round red peppers
- 8 x Large eggs Salt and pepper
- 2 Tbsp. Unsalted butter
- 1 c. Tomato sauce
Directions

- 2. Parboil peppers in simmering, salted water till just tender, then drain peppers.
- 3. Break Large eggs 2 Large eggs into each pepper half. Season and top with a 1/2 Tbsp. slice of butter. Place peppers in small baking pan, pour in 1 inch of warm poaching water, and bake briefly at 375 degrees till Large eggs set.
- 4. Ribbon with tomato sauce.
- My suggestions. Try a spice such as Szechuan Style Pepper or possibly Herb Pepper Blend instead of the salt and pepper. (Szechuan is copied from the label of a McCormick spice jar. Spell checker suggests the spelling Szechwan.)
- This also could be cooked at a low at a medium setting in a microwave oven.
