    These Eggs In Poblano Pepper Boats are quick and perfect to make anytime, so step aside scrambled eggs.  They are just delicious with a hint of spice from the poblano pepper that goes oh so well with the runny eggs.

    And if you’re not all about runny yolks, then just cook the poblano pepper boats for a few minutes longer until the yolks set and

    enjoy your “eggs over hard.”

    Whichever way you choose to cook your eggs these eggs in poblano pepper boats will not disappoint.

    Also, the poblano pepper boats are extremely functional.  They hold and cook the eggs so well, you can make several “boats” at one time in a large skillet.

    And since I’m all about breakfast and consider it one of the best meals of the day, why not add some toppings and sides?

    Toppings

    Choose to have these eggs plain just as they are, with just a little salt and pepper.  Want to go more elaborate with your eggs?  Add some some toppings and sides.  Some ideas include:

    • refried beans
    • black beans
    • avocado salsa verde
    • tomato jalapeño salsa
    • avocado wedges
    • fresh salsa
    • hot sauce
    • avocado cilantro sauce
    • shredded cheese
    • avocado salsa verde

    or crispy toasty bread to dunk in those delicious runny yolks.  Really whatever your heart desires because these eggs in poblano pepper boats can take it all.

    One key note is to pick nice sized poblano peppers.  Do not pick small ones or the whites will run off and cause the whole egg to run off the pepper.  If a little egg white falls off the pepper that’s okay.

    How to Make Eggs in Poblano Peppers (Eggs in Pepper Boats)

    Start with slicing the peppers in half and removing the seeds.  Then cook the peppers in a little bit of oil and a few tablespoons of water.  Add the eggs and cook for a few minutes until eggs are done to your liking.
