Italian eggs and peppers is a classic, rustic dish that can be served for brunch or lunch with a fresh piece of crusty Italian bread. This healthy 3-ingredient meal is so effortless to prepare and is the kind of no-stress meal that should be on everyone’s recipe repertoire.
One of my favorite memories is of my nonna standing at the stove making her traditional Italian meals; one of which was fried eggs with sautéed onions and peppers. It was a quick and tasty meal that everyone in the family loved – and the fact that she made it with passion made it taste even better. I have prepared this dish too many times to even remember, and albeit it’s delicious, it will never be as delicious as how Nonna used to make it! In terms of preparation, there’s not much to this dish – just sauté the onions and peppers on low heat, coaxing out all the natural sugars, then add some fresh organic eggs to the frying pan. Top with some fresh parsley and serve on it’s own with crusty bread, or transform these eggs and peppers into a hearty breakfast burrito.
Another reason this recipe is a quick fix for busy meal times? It only requires 3 simple ingredients. On any given day you can find all three of these ingredients in my fridge, which makes these Italian eggs and peppers one of my favourite go-to’s. This trio of veggies and eggs has such a delicious flavour profile – which might be surprising considering they are such simple ingredients. To make this simple dish, you don’t actually need a recipe. Once you know the cooking technique you can go from there, experimenting with different pepper varieties or herbs and spices, if you wish.

This is very colorful, however I never been a fan of my eggs like that. However I always make scrambled eggs and peppers all the time, it’s so freaking good like that or even an omelette.

This looks dellllicious and something I definitely need to try. Maybe one morning on the weekend or when I get ready… like on time LOL. Having it in a wrap probably just brings everything together. Love it!

This is something I would totally have either for breakfast or lunch. Love the fact that you put it in a wrap. I’m always looking for wrap recipes and incorporating the Italian eggs and peppers as the filling is a brilliant idea.
