Method:

1. Prepare croûtons: dice the two slices of bread with a sharp knife. Melt the butter with olive oil in a frying pan, add bread when hot. Fry until croûtons are golden, drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle lightly with salt, set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 190 ºC. Cut sweet peppers in half lengthways, leaving the stalk on one side. (If peppers are small, slice off the top third only, and use 1 per person.) Scoop out seeds and membrane from each pepper. Place peppers, a few at a time, in a pan of boiling water and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes or until knife-tip tender, taking care not to overcook. Drain well. Arrange peppers in a buttered baking dish.
3. Fold a slice of ham inside each pepper half. Then add 1 or 2 eggs, depending on size of peppers. Season eggs and dot with butter and croûtons. Carefully place dish in oven and bake until eggs are just set, about 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle over parsley and serve warm.
