How to Make Capsicum Or Bell Pepper Torte

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized oven-safe frying pan (cast iron works well) over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 2 large thinly sliced bell peppers to the pan. Sauté for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the bell peppers are tender.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bell pepper mixture in the pan.
  6. Cook over low heat for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the top is slightly moist.
  7. Transfer the pan to a preheated broiler (grill) and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Let the torte cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy with a fresh side salad!
