Green bell peppers are funny. They aren’t quite sweet enough to enjoy as a veggie stick for dips or roasting (though we try every time they show up in our CSA). Usually a good bet with eggs, but we’re not quite the breakfast for dinner folks, and we mostly stick to our morning granola.This was a clever way to use both green peppers and eggs for a wholesome, quick, non-breakfasty meal. A cross between a Spanish tortilla and a frittata.
