Ingredients

⅔ cup ricotta cheese
⅔ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
⅔ cup + 3 T grated
Parmesan cheese
6 large eggs
⅓ cup chopped baby spinach leaves
1 t garlic powder
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
3 bell peppers sliced in half and seeds removed (assorted colors)
1 T chopped fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

Lightly grease the pot of a slow cooker with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, ⅔ cup of Parmesan, eggs, spinach, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Fill each bell pepper cavity with the egg and cheese mixture, reaching just below the rim.
Place the peppers in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours or on HIGH for 2 hours, or until the peppers are tender and the egg mixture is set. Top with the remaining 3 tablespoons of Parmesan and cook for 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Garnish with the basil. Serve immediately.
