The bell pepper adds gorgeous color and a very healthy veggie to your morning. Did I mention it’s really easy? You’ll definitely impress your family and breakfast guests with this bell pepper egg-in-a-hole. Thank you Martha! Serve the eggs-in-a-hole with buttered toast. English muffins are nice too. You can cook the eggs to the doneness you prefer.
Ingredients for Bell Pepper Egg-in-a-hole:
1 red bell pepper (yellow would probably work just as well) 4-5 large eggs Salt Pepper 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (other cheese would probably work too) 1 Tbsp Olive oil
How to Make Bell Pepper egg-in-a-hole for Breakfast:
In a large, non-stick skillet, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium/high heat. Cut peppers into 1/2″ rings and remove the seeds and centers. Place sliced peppers into the pan and let them saute for a minute.
Crack one egg into the center of each bell pepper slice. Start pouring the egg in slowly; it prevents the egg from leaking and forms a nice seal, but some will leak no matter what; don’t fuss over it; it will still taste great!
Sprinkle salt and pepper over each egg. Saute for 3 minutes, then flip it over carefully.
Top with a generous amount of parmesan. If you want your yolks to be juicy (over easy), cook another minute.
P.S. As a (almost licensed) nurse, I feel compelled to say that eggs should be fully cooked for high risk populations including elderly, pregnant and young children.
