 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       lg           Round red peppers
  8                    Eggs
                       Salt and pepper
  2       tb           Unsalted butter
  1       c            Tomato sauce

 1. Select well-shaped peppers that will sit upright.
 Halve them crosswise and remove seeds.  Trim stems but
 do not make a hole. 2. Parboil peppers in simmering,
 salted water until just tender, then drain peppers.
 3. Break eggs 2 eggs into each pepper half.  Season
 and top with a 1/2 tablespoon slice of butter.  Place
 peppers in small baking pan, pour in 1 inch of hot
 poaching water, and bake briefly at 375 degrees until
 eggs set. 4. Ribbon with tomato sauce.

 My suggestions.  Try a spice such as Szechuan Style
 Pepper or Herb Pepper Blend instead of the salt and
 pepper.  (Szechuan is copied from the label of a
 McCormick spice jar.  Spell checker suggests the
 spelling Szechwan.)

 This also could be cooked at a low at a medium setting
 in a microwave oven.
