For the Poached Eggs

6 large eggs

Instructions

Make the Stuffed Peppers

Heat the oil in an Excuto or other large skillet on medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the onion and garlic, and cook until soft.
Add the ground beef and continue cooking, stirring often, until it is no longer pink.
Add the tomatoes, the spice mix, a generous amount of salt and pepper, the tomato paste, and 1 cup water. Stir to combine.
Lower the heat to medium, add the parsley and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes.
Heat the oven to 350°F. Fill each pepper half with some of the meat mixture. Transfer to a deep, rimmed baking dish and bake until the peppers are crisp-tender, about 20 minutes.

Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce

Heat the cream in a medium saucepan on medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Add the cheeses, stirring until melted. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

Make the Poached Eggs

Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the white vinegar and 2 tsp. salt. Reduce the heat to maintain a medium simmer.
Gently slide 1 egg into the water. Use a spoon to swirl the egg towards the yolk to form a compact shape. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the white is set, and the yolk is runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the egg to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

To Serve

Put the stuffed peppers on a large platter. Top each with a poached egg. Spoon a generous portion of cheese sauce on top of the eggs, and garnish with parsley.
Bon appétit!
