Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, eggplant, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper; cook, stirring often, until the eggplant starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant and tomatoes are tender, about 2 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in quinoa and 1 tablespoon parsley. Spoon the quinoa and vegetable mixture evenly into bell pepper halves. Arrange in a greased baking dish. Cover with foil. Bake until the peppers are tender-crisp, about 20 minutes.
  3. Remove the foil. Crack 1 egg into each stuffed pepper and sprinkle with feta. Bake, uncovered, until the peppers are tender and the egg whites are set, or until desired doneness, 20 to 22 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
