Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 piece Medium bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley
Instructions
Slice the bell pepper horizontally to create two thick rings, about 1/2-inch each. Remove any seeds or white pith inside the rings.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Place the bell pepper rings in the skillet and let them cook for about 1 minute to slightly soften.
Carefully crack one egg into the center of each bell pepper ring. If necessary, gently adjust the position of the bell pepper to contain the egg.
Season the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your desired consistency.
Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the eggs during the last minute of cooking and cover again to melt.
Gently remove the keto egg in a basket from the skillet using a spatula and place them onto a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
