You could also make a tasty dip such as hummus with those peppers.
Here is why this baked pepper with egg recipe is perfect.

However, here are some of the benefits that come with red bell peppers.

What you may want to know is the red bell peppers are also a good source of vitamin Cc, vitamin B6, and the antioxidant vitamin E (as well as other nutrients).
Here are some tips for making stuffed peppers.
This recipe works great with any kind of bell pepper although, some may be sweeter than others (green bell peppers being the least sweet). Look for a firm pepper that has an intact skin as this will work best for this recipe.
Here are some more helpful tips.
- Peppers sometimes like to roll to one side when they are placed on a baking sheet. One way to prevent this is to cut the underside so that it will sit flat. The cut should be more like a shave and less of a slice.
- To make this recipe more neat for serving, place the individual peppers in a muffin cup. The muffin cups will make it easier to serve and even eat this recipe.
- Personalize your egg stuffed peppers by adding extra ingredients. Chopped breakfast meats (precooked), chopped vegetables such as green onions, or even taco toppings are ideas.

The recipe for Keto Baked Egg Stuffed Peppers
I mentioned above that baking the individual stuffed pepper in muffin cups is one method of making the stuffed peppers easier to serve. Placing those muffin cups into a muffin tin first can also be an idea to try.
Also mentioned, adding additional toppings can make this recipe even better.
For a more 'breakfast or brunch' approach, you could add precooked and chopped breakfast meat.
However, adding chopped green onions or serving with taco-style toppings can add both color and flavor to these stuffed peppers.
