Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the bell peppers, then slice them horizontally into 1/2-inch thick rings. Remove the seeds and inner membranes while keeping the ring shape intact.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Once the skillet is warm, place the bell pepper rings flat in the pan and lightly cook them for about 1 minute on each side to soften them slightly.
Crack one egg carefully into each bell pepper ring, ensuring the yolk stays intact and the egg whites don’t overflow.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the eggs.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny. For firmer yolks, cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
Carefully remove the egg flowers from the skillet with a spatula and place them on a plate.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
