Grilled Cheese Stuffed Peppers
~ A recipe I adapted from a South American delicacy, provide to me by one of my customers
Ingredients:
1 “flat bottom” pepper for each person (I prefer red or yellow but green works just fine)
1 egg per person
75 grams of cheese per person
Salt and pepper to taste
Option #1 – Smokie
Applewood Smoked Cheddar
Option #2 – Spicy
Provalone
Salsa
Roquamole (see featured recipe, for the less adventuresome, substitute regular guacamole)
Preparation and cooking:
Step (a)
Cut tops off of peppers and hollow
If bottoms are not perfectly flat then level the bottom, but be careful not to break seal of the pepper
Hollow the peppers
Line pepper with cheese (sides and bottom)
For cheese option #1 skip to step (b)
Put dollop of salsa and Roquamole (see featured recipe for the less adventuresome substitute regular guacamole) in bottom of the pepper
Step (b)
Break egg into centre of the pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
Place pepper on grill (medium heat) with lid down
Grill for approximately 30 minutes until egg is set
Note: it will be hard to tell if egg is set so be careful not to over cook
I usually have buttered bread, in tinfoil warming on the grill, waiting to be dipped into my egg!
Serve and enjoy!

It’s summer so a beer, a margarita, a beergarita, or a cold glass of white … you get the picture!
