Fried Eggs in a Bell Pepper Ring
Ingredients
Scale
Eggs from pastured hens
1/3 inch wide rings cut from a fresh bell pepper
Bacon grease
Coconut oil or the fat of your choice
Salsa
Grated raw cheese
Crumbled bacon (optional)
Instructions
- Warm a cast iron or other heavy skillet to medium low to melt your bacon grease and/or coconut oil. After the fat melts, put your bell pepper rings flat in the pan. Allow to cook for a few minutes, then flip.
- • Crack eggs into your cooking bell pepper rings. Some whites may leak from under the bottom of your rings. Not to worry. Just press down on your rings with a spatula to minimize spread and help the edges “set”. Allow eggs to cook to desired wellness. I usually wait until the whites have set, then cover the skillet with a lid or a plate to trap the heat and allow the egg yolk to firm up just a bit, or not!
- • Remove eggs from skillet. Top with salsa, cheese, and crumbled bacon, if desired.
