I have a nice shiny eggplant and some beautiful red and green peppers. I also pulled a young zucchini for this recipe. You can choose whatever vegetables you like for these breakfast cups. Any veggie you can scoop out and fill (like if you were doing stuffed vegetables) will work just fine.
While these are baking, consider whipping up a homemade pico de gallo. It's as simple as combining chopped tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapenos, olive oil and salt and pepper.
Or, save the seeds and pith you scooped out of the veggies from your compost pile, and instead incorporate them into a sauce. In a pan, I added the vegetable scraps with a dash of tomato juice and chopped onion and garlic.
