Brunch Stuffed Peppers Recipe: The Step-by-Step Guide

Rich in protein, good fats, fiber, antioxidants… Not to mention, it’s DELICIOUS and filling? What more could you ask from a simple, easy breakfast?

Plus, this stuffed peppers recipe is easy make in batches for later! Heck, I sometimes make 4 peppers at once, and just stash them in the freezer to reheat throughout the week!

NOTE: These peppers can easily be made vegetarian by leaving out the turkey sausage.

easy brunch stuffed peppers ingredients

2 bell peppers, any color, cut in half lengthwise, seeds removed

2 cups kale, stems removed, sliced thin
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

  5. Mix kale mixture in with the eggs, and spoon into the 4 pepper halves until peppers are full. If peppers are a little underfilled, crack another egg and and add to the mix.
