Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the bell peppers, then slice them horizontally into 1/2-inch thick rings. Remove the seeds and inner membranes while keeping the ring shape intact.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the skillet is warm, place the bell pepper rings flat in the pan and lightly cook them for about 1 minute on each side to soften them slightly.
Step 4
Crack one egg carefully into each bell pepper ring, ensuring the yolk stays intact and the egg whites don’t overflow.
Step 5
Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the eggs.
Step 6
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny. For firmer yolks, cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Carefully remove the egg flowers from the skillet with a spatula and place them on a plate.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
