--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   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.
