Ingredients:

1 red pepper
120g
4 eggs
220g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
24g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bell Pepper:
- Wash the red bell pepper thoroughly.
- Slice the bell pepper horizontally into 4 evenly thick rings, around 1/2 inch in thickness. Remove any seeds or white fleshy bits from the rings.
2. Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat up until it shimmers.
3. Cook the Bell Pepper Rings:
- Place the bell pepper rings in the skillet, leaving a bit of space between each ring.
- Cook the rings for about 1 minute on each side to slightly soften them.
4. Add the Eggs:
- Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently pour the egg into the center of each bell pepper ring. Repeat for all the rings.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt and black pepper over the eggs.
5. Cook the Eggs:
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the egg whites are well cooked but the yolks are still a bit runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook a little longer.
6. Add Parmesan Cheese:
- Just before the eggs are done, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over each egg-filled bell pepper ring.
- Cover the skillet again and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the eggs are done to your liking.
7. Serve:
- Remove the bell pepper parmesan egg-in-a-hole from the skillet using a spatula.
- Serve immediately. This dish pairs well with a side of toast, salad, or fresh avocado slices.

Tips:

- Choose bell peppers that are firm and brightly colored for the best flavor and texture.

- Make sure to cut the bell pepper rings evenly so that the eggs cook uniformly.

- If you prefer your egg yolk runny, keep a close watch on the cooking time and remove the bell peppers from the heat as soon as the egg whites are set.

- Feel free to add extra seasonings or herbs, such as paprika, chives, or parsley, to enhance the flavor.

- Serve the dish with a side of toast or salad to make it a complete meal.
