Contestant: Renee Schrock - Student Fourth Place
Ingredients:
4 sweet peppers (green, yellow, or red) approx. 4 ounces each
4 eggs
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup salsa
½ cup broccoli
½ cup rice, cooked
1 cup bacon, cooked
1 cup Co-Jack cheese
Low-fat sour cream, as needed
Directions:
Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds (wash all vegetables).
In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs and milk together. Stir in
salt and salsa. Add broccoli, rice, ¾ cup bacon, and ¾
cup of cheese.
Stand peppers in custard cups. Fill the peppers 2/3 to ¾
of the way full with the mixture.
Place the peppers in the cups on a plate, platter, or tray. Microwave
peppers on full power for 6 minutes. Rotate the plate 180º.
Cook then on 50% power rotating the plate every 3 minutes, until
a knife can be inserted into the center and comes out clean (about
10-14 minutes). Peppers may vary; remove each pepper as it is done.
Let stand for 5 minutes. Top with sour cream. Sprinkle with remaining
bacon and cheese. Serve.
