To brighten up the colour of these peppers filled with a fluffy egg mixture, sprinkle them with chopped fresh parsley before baking. Serve with a baguette and a spinach salad tossed with toasted walnuts, walnut oil and red wine vinegar.

Ingredients

  • 2 each large sweet  green peppers and red peppers
  • 3 oz  (90 g)  thinly sliced ham
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 3 tbsp  (45 mL)  milk
  • 2 tbsp  (30 mL)  all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup  (75 mL)  herbed goat cheese
  • Vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper

Preparation

Cut peppers in half lengthwise. Scoop out ribs and seeds. Rub 2 tsp (10 mL) oil over peppers; sprinkle with ΒΌ tsp (1 mL) salt. Transfer peppers, cut side down, to foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake in 350F (180C) oven until tender-crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain off any liquid; turn peppers, cut side up, and set aside.

Meanwhile, finely dice ham. In large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, ham, milk, flour and pinch each salt and pepper until combined.Crumble goat cheese; whisk in just until slightly lumpy.

In separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Whisk one-third into egg-yolk mixture; fold in remaining whites. Spoon into peppers. Bake until filling is puffed and firm to the touch and peppers are tender, about 30 minutes.

Makes 4 servings.
