Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large bell peppers (any color), sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Bell Peppers: Slice the bell peppers into 1/2-inch thick rings and carefully remove the seeds and membranes to create clean rings that will hold the eggs.
- Arrange and Oil: Place the pepper rings on the prepared baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil to help them roast nicely and add flavor.
- Add Eggs: Crack one egg into each pepper ring, ensuring the yolk remains intact for an attractive presentation and texture.
- Season: Sprinkle each egg-filled pepper ring with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to enhance flavor.
- Add Cheese (Optional): If desired, sprinkle a pinch of shredded cheese on top of each egg for a melty, savory finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks are cooked to your preference.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives, and serve warm, optionally with toast or avocado slices.
Notes
- For easier egg placement, crack each egg into a small bowl before pouring it into the pepper ring.
- Use a variety of bell pepper colors for a bright and visually appealing dish.
- This dish pairs well with toast or fresh avocado slices for a satisfying meal.
