Ingredients

Scale

1 shallot (finely chopped) (or substitute with regular onion)
3 medium-sized tomatoes (cut into larger pieces)
1 can of tuna (drained)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
1 red pepper (washed, cut in half, and seeds removed)
1-2 eggs (depending on the number of pepper halves)
Feta cheese (for serving)

Instructions

Preparing the Filling
1. In a bowl, combine the chopped shallot, tomato pieces, and drained tuna.
2. Season with salt, black pepper, and mix well to break the tuna into smaller pieces.
3. Set the bowl aside while you prepare the red pepper.
Preparing the Red Peppers
1. Wash the red pepper and cut it in half. Remove the seeds and white veins.
2. Place the pepper halves in a heat-resistant pan suitable for the oven.
3. Stuff each half of the pepper with the tuna and tomato mixture, flattening it with a spoon to create space for the egg.
Adding the Eggs
1. Carefully crack an egg into each pepper half, creating a small recess in the filling to prevent the egg white from spilling over.
2. Season the eggs with a pinch of chili flakes if desired.
Baking
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
2. Bake the stuffed peppers for about 20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set to your liking.
Serving
1. Remove the peppers from the oven and serve with your favorite sauce and some crumbled feta cheese on top.
