Sweet Pepper Polenta Egg Cup

5 from 1 rating

Ingredients

  • 1 sweet pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 Tbsp cornmeal
  • 4 Tbsp boiling water
  • ½ cup of cheddar cheese
  • 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika

Instructions 

  • Prepare the stuffing for the peppers by mixing together the cornmeal, cheese and water in a small bowl.
  • Prepare the smoky mayo topping by mixing the smoked paprika into the mayonnaise.
  • Prepare your pepper by slicing off the top, and then cutting vertically into 2 pieces. They won't seem very cup-like yet, but the flatten out a bit when cooking.
  • Place them facing down on a baking sheet, and place under the grill / broiler for about 5 minutes, until they are charred.
  • You can then turn them over and stuff with the polenta mixture. Push them together on the pan to avoid the mixture spilling out onto the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes at 200C / 390F
  • Put the eggs on to poach and grill the tops of the peppers if you would like to to crisp them up.
  • Assemble! Place the pepper on a plate and top with the poached egg and smoky mayo. Grind on some black pepper and you're good to go.
