Instructions
 

  • To roast the peppers, set your oven to broil.
  • Meanwhile, slice off the tops of the peppers, then slice the peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and veins. (Save some seeds and add them back in Step 5 for a spicier dish.)
  • Place the peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet face down. Broil for 10 minutes, or until the skins are starting to peel off. Set aside to cool.
  • Add the beef and Mexican seasoning to a large skillet. Cook until beef is browned, or about 10 minutes.
  • Add chopped roasted peppers (and seeds), onions and mushrooms to the skillet with the beef. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Spray a baking dish with avocado oil Transfer the beef and pepper mixture to the dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium mixing bowl or large measuring cup, combine the eggs, heavy whipping cream and almond flour. Use a whisk, hand mixer, or an immersion blender to combine.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the beef and pepper mixture. Top with shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and eggs are set.
  • Serve each square topped with a dollop of sour cream and chopped avocado.
