Simple but so damn tasty recipe that is a superb comfort food on a cold winters day. The fried egg on top is the perfect finishing touch. Piperade is a simple French dish that is full of flavour, aroma and texture; what more do you need? I have served this as a main dish but also for breakfast and brunch.
