Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bell peppers
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Grated cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the bell peppers. Cut them into 1/2-inch thick rings and remove any seeds or white membranes from inside the rings.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the bell pepper rings flat in the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on one side to soften slightly.
Flip the bell pepper rings and crack one egg into the center of each ring. If the egg whites spill slightly, gently nudge them back into the ring with a spatula.
Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the eggs to cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (adjust time to your desired yolk consistency).
If using grated cheese, sprinkle it over the top of each egg during the last minute of cooking and allow it to melt.
Carefully remove the Eggs in Bell Pepper Rings from the skillet using a spatula.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your colorful and nutritious breakfast!
