Roast the whole peppers over an open flame on a gas stovetop burner, turning often, until the skins are evenly blackened and blistered. Move the peppers to a resealable plastic bag, seal it, and let them steam for a while so the skins loosen and peel off easily.
- 3
While the peppers steam, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, onion, and garlic; cook for a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

If desired, wear food-safe gloves and remove the peppers from the bag. Peel off and discard the charred skins. Rinse the peppers under cool running water to remove any burnt bits, then pat dry with a paper towel. Cut a small vertical slit along the side of each pepper and remove the seeds and veins through the slit.

Stuff each pepper halfway with the beef mixture, then fill the remainder with shredded mozzarella. Close the slits and secure with toothpicks.

Beat the egg whites in a large glass or metal bowl until thick and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks until combined, about 1 minute. Place the flour in a shallow bowl.
- 7
Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the stuffed peppers with flour, then dip them into the eggs until fully covered. Carefully place the peppers in the hot oil and fry on both sides until golden. Drain on paper towels, then serve on a large platter.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
