Stuffed bell peppers with an egg on top
These bell peppers make a nice light dinner on their own or can be served with pasta or risotto. They are also the perfect way to use an abundance of herbs if you have a garden!
Ingredients:
1lb grassfed ground beef
1/2 cup chopped herbs (oregano, parseley and basil work well)
Sea salt, to taste
Cracked pepper, to taste
One egg for the meat mixture
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup goat cheese
1/2 can tomato sauce
An egg to top each pepper
Four large bell peppers
Directions:
Slice the bell peppers open lengthwise, remove stem and seeds. Place side by side on a parchment-lined pan, like this one. Mix one egg, herbs, spices, Parmesan and beef in a bowl thoroughly. I usually mix with my hands. Separate the mixture into 8 equal portions and smoosh into the halved bell peppers.
Top each one with a couple of tablespoons of the sauce, then sprinkle a bit of goat cheese on each one. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven and create a little divot in each. Gently crack an egg on top. Add a bit more salt ans bake another ten minutes.

The food we cook is usually dairy-free and gluten-free, and sometimes paleo, but we make exceptions (ahem, sourdough bread). The “hippie” part of this blog comes into play in the ingredients we use—I’m pretty vigilant about the health of my family and you could even call me “crunchy.” The “modern” part is that I am busy! You won’t catch me making my own nut milk or churning butter (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I’m more than happy to take the shortcuts provided by our lovely grocery stores and online shopping —especially in the midst of this global pandemic.
