Serving size
Ingredients
- 1 large bell pepper (seeds and flesh removed)
- 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
- 4 eggs
- 4 pinches salt and pepper or more to taste
- Optional seasonings: tajin, ayenne pepper, truffle salt, smoked sea salt, fresh herbs, or smoked paprika
Preparation
Step 1
Slice the bell pepper in half and then neatly cut four 1/2-inch rings out of the bell pepper. The neater the cuts, the better the egg will stay inside the pepper.
Step 2
Heat up a non-stick large flat pan, and brush it with 1/2 tbsp. olive oil.
Step 3
Place the 4 pepper rings on the pan, and cook on medium/high heat for about 2 minutes, or until the peppers start browning.
Step 4
Flip each pepper and turn down the heat and carefully crack an egg into the center of each pepper. Use a fork to make sure that each pepper is completely filled with egg.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper and cook on low heat until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Step 6
Use a large spatula to carefully get under each egg in ring and loosen it from the pan. Transfer onto a plate.
Step 7
Sprinkle with any optional seasonings that you like!
Step 8
Enjoy!
