sautéed chorizo and apple stuffed breakfast peppers

Remember that mountain getaway I told you about a while back? Yeah, the one where I almost face-planted while trying to take a selfie with a particularly majestic-looking pine tree? Well, it turns out that not all memories from that trip involved near-disasters and awkward poses. Some actually sparked culinary inspiration!

During our stay, we stumbled upon this quirky little bistro that served the most incredible chorizo and apple stuffed peppers. Seriously, they were a revelation. The combo of savory chorizo with the sweet, tartness of apples nestled in a perfectly roasted bell pepper? Mind-blowing! So, naturally, I came home determined to recreate that flavor bomb in my own kitchen. And folks, I think I nailed it. I think I've truly nailed it.

These Sautéed Chorizo & Apple Stuffed Breakfast Peppers are not just a breakfast item, I tell you! They're a celebration of flavors and textures that will kickstart your day in the most delicious way possible.

The best part? These stuffed peppers are totally customizable. Not a fan of goat cheese? Swap it for some cheddar or leave it out altogether. Want to add a little kick? Throw in a pinch of cayenne pepper. The possibilities are endless! Plus, they're surprisingly easy to make, perfect for beginners and seasoned cooks alike. Honestly, the most challenging part is probably not eating all the chorizo and apple filling straight from the skillet – trust me, it's tempting! What is more, it makes a fun project you can do with the family in a lazy weekend. Oh the memories!

Now, I’m not saying these peppers will solve all your problems (though, honestly, a good breakfast can work wonders). But they will definitely add a little sunshine to your plate and a whole lotta flavor to your morning. So, gather your ingredients, put on some tunes, and let’s get cooking!

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Halve the bell peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Drizzle the inside of each pepper half with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the Chorizo and Apple: In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the chorizo and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Add the diced apple to the skillet and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Push the chorizo and apple mixture to one side of the skillet. Add the diced onion to the empty side and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
  4. Combine the Stuffing Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chorizo and apple mixture, sautéed onion and garlic, cooked quinoa (if using), chopped parsley, and crumbled goat cheese (if using). Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to combine.
  5. Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the chorizo and apple mixture into each bell pepper half, mounding it slightly on top.
  6. Bake the Peppers: Arrange the stuffed peppers in a baking dish. Add a splash of water to the bottom of the dish to prevent the peppers from drying out. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
  7. Broil for a Golden Finish (Optional): For a golden-brown top, broil the stuffed peppers for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning. You could also add some mozzarella on top for more flavor and color.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the baked stuffed peppers with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve immediately and watch them disappear!

📝 Notes

  • For a spicier kick, use hot chorizo.
  • Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top before baking for extra gooeyness.
