Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat up until it shimmers.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
