I have a question about this recipe. I just need clarification on the bell peppers. Is it one bell pepper of our choosing or 1 yellow and 1 red or orange?
Crystal, Only one bell pepper of your choosing is fine.
This is a great high protein low carb and low calorie breakfast option
Love it
I made these in muffin tins because my loaf pan was not large enough.
These turned into the perfect quick bite breakfast!!!
Amy, Love the muffin pan idea. 🙂
