Do you cut the peppers in half before or after cooking. That is do you stuff the half peppers and then bake?
To be honest, I didn’t intend to cut them in half. I stepped away, and let them cook too long, so they weren’t exactly pretty for the picture. They tasted good though. My original idea was to just cut the top off, and have them stuffed that way.
Would egg substitute (instead of a whole egg) work?
I think that would work, and is a great idea.
