Stuffed Poblano Peppers with Scrambled Eggs and Goat Cheese

Stuffed Poblano peppers are roasted and stuffed with scrambled eggs, sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, chives, and topped with feta cheese

INGREDIENT RECOMMENDATIONS:

  • Fresh mint leaves in place of cilantro or parsley

  • Consider adding diced black olives

  • Substitute cotija for the goat cheese or feta or use all three

  • Manchego cheese is also a good, flavorful cheese that would work well for this recipe

  • Top with red pepper flakes for added spice

  • Replace the jar of Yum Yum sauce for a homemade Roasted Red Pepper or Citrus Ginger Aioli or Remoulade

  • BONUS RECIPE… this Roasted Red Pepper Remoulade comes with the All-American Bison Burger recipe. Yes, please! And a fire-roasted corn salsa.

PROTEIN SUGGESTIONS:

  • My brother is allergic to eggs. We substituted grilled shrimp!

  • Ground turkey is a great option

  • Fajita-style steak strips

  • Jumbo lump crab meat is always a good suggestion

  • Vegan option… quinoa!

Recipe

Stuffed Poblano Peppers with Scrambled Eggs and Goat Cheese
Entree
Poblano peppers are roasted and stuffed with scrambled eggs, sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, chives, and topped with feta

Ingredients

6 poblano peppers
1 bunch green onion, chopped, white and green parts
6 medium asparagus, blanched and roughly chopped
1/3 cup chopped sundried tomatoes from a jar, oil reserved
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 bunch Italian flat leaf parsley or cilantro, chopped
12 eggs, cracked and whisked together
Sea salt
Black pepper
5-6 ounces plain goat cheese
5-6 ounces feta cheese
1 jar Yum Yum sauce or housemade Roasted Red Pepper Aioli (recipe link in text above)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425*F
Place fresh, whole poblano peppers on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through to allow for even roasting.
Skins of peppers should be slightly blistered and tender yet still slightly firm.
While peppers are roasting, prep the other ingredients.
Remove peppers from oven and slice one side of the pepper from just about the top to the bottom, allowing for the peppers to be stuffed.
Pay attention not to slice the pepper all the way through to the other side; slice one side only.
Using the reserved sundried tomato oil, heat about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Add the eggs to the skillet followed by the green onion, asparagus, sundried tomatoes, and jalapeno.
Add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Using a wooden spatula, stir all ingredients and scramble the eggs as they cook.
Add in the goat cheese, crumbling it with your fingers.
Cooking time will vary depending upon size of skillet.
Halfway through the cooking process, toss in the parsley or cilantro.
Continue cooking until eggs are slightly undercooked (they will finish cooking in the next steps).
Remove eggs from the heat.
Using a spoon, stuff each pepper with the egg mixture.
Top with crumbled feta cheese.
Return stuffed peppers to the oven for about 5 minutes or until cheese is just melting.
Serve with a healthy drizzle of Yum Yum sauce, remoulade or aioli.
