poached pepper

I don't like to use cooking oil or butter so when we eat eggs they're either poached or hard boiled. One of my favourite kitchen accessories is my little set of poach pods because they eliminate the mess. With our new water system, keeping particulate out of the dishwater will keep it maintenance free for much longer. They just float on top of the water and the egg can be eaten right out of the pod.



I was making John's lunch and had a green pepper cut in half sitting next to one of the pods and I noticed that it looked like it would do basically the same thing. Whether or not it could float wouldn't be relevant since cooking the pepper would be a desired effect. It seemed like something that people would do, so I looked online and the closest thing I could find was quiche filled whole peppers. I usually think bell peppers are better raw but this (plus a handful of spinach) was definitely my favourite breakfast I've had in a while. John calls it a reverse omelet and I think that's a better way (for us) to do it. Lots of vegetables + one egg and not the other way around.
