Ingredients:
4 medium bell peppers, any color
¼ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
8 large eggs
¼ cup Mexican-blend shredded cheese
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a baking pan with cooking spray.
Cut bell peppers in half through the stem end. Remove ribs and seeds. Place the peppers in the pan cut-side up and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Bake the peppers for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and crack 1 egg into each pepper cup. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, then top each with 1/2 tablespoon cheese.
Bake until the egg whites are set, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro, if desired.
