Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 bell pepper rings ⅓-inch thick
- 3 medium eggs
- Pinch sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- Pinch red pepper flakes optional
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.
