Directions
Roasted Red Peppers
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cut 4 deveined and seeded peppers into strips. Place in glass baking dish. Sprinkle thinly sliced cloves of garlic from ½ a head of garlic over the peppers. Drizzle about 1/3 cup of good quality extra virgin olive oil over the mixture along with the juice of 2 large lemons. Roast, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are soft but not browning. Can be stored in fridge for up to 10 days.
For the mushrooms:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Brush the outside of the mushroom cap with a little olive oil and roast about 15 minutes.
Line the inside of the mushroom cap with a layer of the wilted spinach, then a layer of the roasted red peppers and set aside.
For the eggs:
Beat together the eggs, half and half, chives and salt and pepper. Melt the better in a large skillet and scramble the egg mixture adding in ¾ of the shredded cheddar. Scoop a nice mound of egg onto each mushroom cap over the other layers. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar and sprinkle with parmesan. Return to oven just to melt cheese and serve.
