Instructions

Heat the butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat until it foams.
Add the bell pepper rings. Cook them for 2 minutes on each side.
Crack an egg into each bell pepper ring. Lower the heat to medium-low.
If some of the egg whites escape into the skillet as you pour the eggs into the rings, simply allow them to set, then gently cut them off with a small spatula and remove them.
Cook the eggs until the whites are set, for 5-10 minutes. Use a wide spatula to lift them from the skillet onto a plate.
Season with salt and pepper (plus red pepper flakes if desired) and serve.

Notes

If your eggs are large, pour out some of the egg whites before you add the eggs to the pepper molds.
Please use a nonstick skillet in this recipe.
The FDA recommends cooking eggs thoroughly.
This is one of those recipes where I don't recommend storing the leftovers. Especially not if the yolks are still runny (which is how I make them). So, try to only make as many as you anticipate eating immediately.
