Egg and Cheese Stuffed Bell Peppers
Yellow bell peppers are very sweet and go nicely with a sharp savory cheese like cheddar. If you like, you could use poblano peppers instead of bell peppers but you will need twice as many because they are smaller.
The egg goes well with the cheese in this grilled stuffed bell peppers recipe and if you like to cook grilled vegetables you will find bell peppers easy to grill. The tomato salsa adds more flavor and you can put it under the egg mixture or on top when you are filling the peppers. This stuffed peppers recipe is simple to make and is a great appetizer side dish.
