Cookware
baking sheet pan · chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · grater · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · oven mitts · spatula · stirring spoon · tongs · whisk or fork
Directions
- Preheat the oven to broil with the rack in the center. Wash the produce and get everything ready.
- Cut the bell peppers lengthwise into thirds and remove stems, seeds, and white membranes; place the pieces skin-side down on a baking sheet.
- Broil the peppers for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through so both sides blister and begin to soften.
- Meanwhile, juice the lime into a small bowl. Strip cilantro leaves from their stems, mince them, and add to the lime juice.
- Peel and mince the shallot and finely dice the tomato; add both to the bowl with the cilantro and lime.
- Halve the jalapeño lengthwise, seed and remove the ribs, then finely dice and stir into the pico de gallo. Season with salt and mix well.
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until incorporated.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the butter, and swirl to coat. Pour in the eggs and scramble, stirring and folding until just set and there’s no runny part remaining.
- Grate the cheddar cheese while the eggs finish cooking, then reposition the peppers skin-side down on the sheet. Divide the scrambled eggs among the peppers, sprinkle with cheddar and oregano, and broil for about 1 minute until the cheese melts.
- Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and thinly slice the flesh inside the skin; scoop out the slices with a spoon.
- To serve, arrange the stuffed peppers on plates, top with pico de gallo and avocado slices, and enjoy.
Two tips
- Make-ahead: prepare the pico de gallo up to a day in advance and refrigerate.
- Serving idea: swap out the cheddar for any other available cheese or top with extra lime juice for a lighter finish.
