Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
- 4 large eggs
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the bell peppers thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice the bell peppers into 1/2-inch-thick horizontal rings, discarding the tops, bottoms, and seeds. Aim for four evenly sized rings.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the bell pepper rings in the skillet, ensuring they are lying flat against the surface.
Crack one egg into a small bowl to ensure the yolk stays intact. Gently pour the egg into the center of a bell pepper ring. Repeat for the remaining eggs and pepper rings.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the eggs.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the eggs to cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 4-5 minutes. For firmer yolks, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Carefully transfer the sunny-side-up pepper flowers to a plate using a spatula.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives, if desired, and serve immediately.
