This Quiche stuffed peppers recipe is a great alternative to a pastry Quiche. The sweet baked peppers make a delicious colourful case to the baked egg filling.
Although I've seen this as a breakfast recipe, the dish takes 45 minutes to bake and I certainly can't wait that long for breakfast. So we had this for lunch along with a salad. It was like a yummy combination of roasted pepper and frittata for me.
For the filling, I chose broccoli and feta but you could use any other fillings. Spinach would be a great choice. Perhaps along with some blue cheese too? Just get creative, and bake your mini pepper cased Quiche! We ate this straight out of the oven but I can imagine that they would be delicious cold too. Perhaps for a picnic. Another idea would be to bake this ahead and reheat for a brunch.
I used red and yellow peppers as they are sweet. I personally only prefer the green peppers chopped up raw in a salad. If you were filling the peppers with a spicy meat then perhaps green peppers would go well.
