Ingredients
- 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and halved
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball the amount
- 2 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and halved, then thinly sliced across into half moons
- 1 small onion, halved, then very thinly sliced
- 1 small brown paper sack
- 8 large eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper
Directions
Preheat broiler to high. Place red pepper halves on a cookie or baking sheet. Place peppers under broiler and allow the skins to blacken all over, about 10 minutes.
While peppers are working, heat about 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add sliced potatoes and fry in oil until they begin to become tender, 5 minutes. Add onions and cook 5 minutes more. Remove potatoes and onions to a bowl using slotted spoon. Wipe out pan, return pan to heat and add remaining oil. Reduce heat to medium. Remove peppers from broiler. Leave broiler on. Place peppers in a brown paper sack and seal sack tightly. Allow peppers to stand and cool for a couple of minutes. Peel away charred skin and slice. Add peppers to potatoes and onions. Add beaten eggs to cooked vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Add mixture to the pan and cook until eggs settle and brown on the bottom. Transfer pan to broiler and allow the egg pie to brown on top and puff up.
Slide pie out of the pan and on to a serving plate. Cool slightly, then cut into 8 wedges and serve.

This recipe is wonderful. I usually make just scrambled eggs with salt&pepper once a week, but this a great change. Will be making it again soon! It is very quick to make. Instead of using a red bell pepper and roasting it, i just let it cook in the oil with the onions and potatoes. It was much faster this way. I served it with a bowl of mixed fruit and sweet corn bread muffins. Delish!

Amazingly easy and fast to make. Instead of the red pepper (given my family's tastes after giving the potatos 5 minutes and the onions 5 mintues I added 1 cup chopped celery and added 5 minutes more before moving to another bowl. I also added 1 cup shredded cheese to the eggs before adding the vegetable mixture. It was a big hit. Will do this one again!

This colorful egg pie is a hearty, filling meal with big flavor! It serves like a quiche but tastes better with the potato and onion "crust" It's easy to adjust portions and add in various meats or cheeses or veggies. Preparation is fast and easy with only the roasted peppers taking a little time. A+!
