Today, I am sharing with you a super simple dish to create at home. With the holiday season approaching, I wanted to keep this festive, however, you may customize it to your liking. The sky is the limit with this yummy treat. I utilized ingredients that I already had stocked in my pantry to create this tasty dish with shiitake mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and Swiss chard. I added chives and pinch of cayenne pepper to elevate the flavor profile. I love a little heat to my dishes! Do you?! And I am an egg lover whether it’s scrambled, poached, boiled and everything under the sun. With such a festive time of the year, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to create something simple, but with elegance.

A great anytime treat whether it’s for breakfast, brunch, lunch and/or dinner. An easy way to make an impressive breakfast that looks elegant, tastes yummy, and looks like you spent hours creating in the kitchen. Below are the many health benefits of bell peppers.
