Bell Pepper Egg-in-a-Hole
Bell Pepper Egg-in-a-Hole is a delicious and colorful twist on the classic egg-in-a-hole recipe. Instead of using bread, this recipe uses bell pepper rings as the base, giving the dish a vibrant and nutritious touch. It’s a perfect breakfast option for those looking to add more vegetables to their morning meal.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 large bell pepper (any color)
- 1-2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Start by washing the bell pepper and cutting it into 1/2-inch thick rings. Remove the seeds and the white pith from the inside of each ring.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or oil.
Place the bell pepper rings on the skillet and let them cook for about 1-2 minutes to soften slightly.
Carefully crack one egg into the center of each bell pepper ring. If the bell pepper ring is large enough, you can add two eggs.
Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired level of doneness (around 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk and 5-6 minutes for a fully cooked yolk).
Once the eggs are cooked, carefully remove the bell pepper rings with the eggs from the skillet using a spatula.
Serve the Bell Pepper Egg-in-a-Hole immediately while they are warm.
TIPS
You can add various toppings to your Bell Pepper Egg-in-a-Hole, such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, fresh herbs, or sliced avocado.
To add more flavor, sprinkle some grated cheese over the eggs while they are cooking. Cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
Adjust the cooking time based on your preference for egg doneness. Cooking longer will result in firmer yolks.
Use bell peppers of different colors to make the dish even more visually appealing.
