Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 bell pepper halved and clean out the seeds
  • 1 tablespoon feta or any cheese you love
  • 2 tablespoon cherry tomatoes diced
  • ¼ scallion diced (or green onion)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pesto any variety you like

Instructions

  • Cut your bell pepper and a half directly through the stem. Clean out the inside and remove the seeds. Add a sprinkle of feta or any cheese you like.
  • Finely dice your cherry tomatoes and green scallions (optional) and add them to pepper halves.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and the sun-dried tomato pesto. Fill each half with the egg mixture just below the rim of the pepper.
  • Gently transfer it into your air fryer and air fry at 370°F (180C) for 18 to 20 minutes but please keep an eye on it as it will depend on the air-fryer.
  • Parsley for garnish is optional (and extra feta on top) and enjoy.
