Cut out the core and wash out any remaining seeds. Next, calmly spray the pepper with cooking spray oil. You might want to roast pepper (lid included) by itself for about 5-10 minutes. This attracts out lots of the additional moisture within the pepper that doesn’t must cook dinner into your egg combination. It helps to place the pepper “bottom up” on a baking sheet or pan in order that moisture doesn’t pool inside.

While the pepper is roasting, in a small bowl mix the eggs, cream cheese, shredded cheese, seasoning, and butter. Mix till principally clean.

When pepper is completed, clear off any further liquid. Place the bell upright on cooking sheet and pour egg combination within the open cavity.

Cook for about 30-45 minutes or till the eggs look totally cooked, you possibly can verify the middle with a toothpick (keep in mind egg substitute all the time seems a bit glossier than common eggs).

Once totally cooked, prime with further cheese and purple pepper flakes, bake till melted. Finish off the look with the flowery little pepper “hat.” Enjoy!
