Ingredients
  

4 mini sweet peppers (choose from red, yellow, or orange)

4 large eggs

1/4 cup shredded cheese (options: cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)

2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional toppings: diced avocado, salsa, or your favorite hot sauce

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's ready for roasting.

    Prepare the Peppers: Take the mini sweet peppers and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the seeds to create a hollow space for the egg filling. Place the pepper halves cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

      Season the Peppers: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the pepper halves. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on top. Using your hands or a brush, gently toss the peppers to coat them thoroughly with the seasoning.

        Roast the Peppers: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the peppers for approximately 15-20 minutes. They should become slightly tender but not fully soft.

          Add the Eggs: After roasting, carefully remove the peppers from the oven. Crack one egg into each pepper half, allowing the egg to settle inside the pepper.

            Sprinkle Cheese and Chives: Distribute the shredded cheese evenly over each egg and sprinkle with the chopped chives for extra flavor and freshness.

              Bake Again: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on the eggs: they are ready when the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness (runny or firm).

                Serve: Once baked, carefully take the baking sheet out of the oven. Serve the breakfast boats warm and consider adding optional toppings such as diced avocado, salsa, or a drizzle of hot sauce to enhance the flavor.
