Chili Relleno Breakfast Surprise!

NaBloPoMo 2011

    If I make a breakfast surprise with peppers, eggs, cheese and coconut oil, that’s healthy, right?
   Um, yeah, sure.
   I tried just breading the peppers and frying them in the coconut oil the first time and they pretty much fell apart in the oil so I gave up and did this casserole style instead.
    I decided I had to come up with this recipe as Jenn gave me THREE BAGS of peppers from her garden.
   Than she apologized.
   Seriously? You just gave me three bags of organic pepper goodness and than apologized?
   Sweet Jesus, I love my friends.
    Of course that was all before I began cutting up three bags of peppers to freeze them and cut off a lot of my thumb.
   Thank god for super glue.
   And whiskey.
