Omelet Stuffed Pepper

Back several years when we raised our own peppers; it was much easier to find good sweet peppers for this recipe.  Now if you shop in a super market chances are these peppers came from Outer Soblovia or some such exciting location, that lists it as Organic uh uh right!! I generally wait till I can find these at a local farmers market.  Anyway good peppers are starting to show-up locally; so its time to fix-up this easy wonderful version of a stuffed pepper.  I try to use a red or yellow sweet pepper (green works OK to) if one is available for size and shape.  The ideal candidate  is large and the bottom is fairly flat on the bottom.
This recipe is for one stuffed pepper, so multiply the ingredients according to how many you are making.
.
Ingredients:
1-large flat bottomed sweet pepper of your choice (top trimmed off and seeds removed)
Enough of your favorite omelet mixture to fill the pepper cavity

.Parmesan cheese                                                     

.Directions:
In a shallow baking dish or cake pan, add your pepper(s) (standing-up) and fill with your omelet mixture till about 3/4 full; sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese.  Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan about1/4 inch (this helps steam the pepper(s) and prevents scorching)
Now place this baking dish in a 400 degree oven long enough for the omelet to be solid in the middle (approx 45-50 mins depending on how many you are cooking)
We use this as a dinner entree    That's it!!
