Microwaved Egg-Stuffed Peppers

Microwaved egg-stuffed peppers are a quick and easy variation on traditional stuffed peppers. Sweet red peppers serve as edible vessels for eggs, creating individual portions that can be prepped and ready in just under 15 minutes. The microwave cooks the peppers until tender while gently setting the eggs inside.
