My sister handed me a stack of old Martha Stewart magazines and I
discovered this little gem. 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. 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:
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:1. In a large, non-stick skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium/high heat.
2. 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.
3. 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!
4. Sprinkle salt and pepper over each egg. Saute for 3 minutes, then flip it over carefully.
5. Top with a generous amount of parmesan.
6. 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.
