INGREDIENTS

0 1/2 large (2-1/4 per pound) fresh red bell pepper USDA
1 Tbsp olive oil USDA
2 cup fresh baby spinach
2 lrg raw egg USDA
2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream USDA
0 1/4 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded USDA
0 1/8 tsp table salt USDA
0 1/8 tsp black pepper, ground USDA

DIRECTIONS

Cut bell pepper in half lengthwise, leaving stem intact, so that the two sides of the pepper will lay flat. Remove seeds and membranes from one side. In a small pan with a lid and ¼ cup water over medium heat, place red pepper half and steam until tender, about 6 minutes. Set aside on a serving plate.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, warm oil. Sauté spinach until wilted. While cooking, beat the eggs with the cream and add the cheese (reserve a small amount for serving).
Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the spinach and cook over medium heat until the eggs are set but have a creamy texture, about 3 minutes (do not overcook), and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Spoon the egg mixture into the pepper, top with reserved cheese and serve immediately.
