How to make a fried egg in a bell pepper?

A fried egg in a bell pepper ring looks like a sunny island. A festive breakfast that makes you feel on Holiday.

Cut The bell pepper into thick rings and briefly cook them in a knob of butter until lightly caramelized.

Then, crack an egg into the center of each ring and cook it until the white is firm and the yolk is still deliciously soft.

Finally, for a festive touch, you can finish the dish with colorful toppings. Like finely chopped fresh herbs, grated cheese, and a pinch of chili flakes for some extra kick. Serve it with a pinch of salt, pepper, and optionally some fresh herbs for extra flavor.

This breakfast is not only a feast for the eyes but also a flavorful combination of the crispy, sweet bell pepper and the creamy egg. For sure, this easy breakfast will be a hit on any breakfast table.

Because the pan and the bell pepper are well preheated, the egg white will set almost immediately and not spread out. This keeps the fried egg nicely contained within the bell pepper ring without spreading. That, on the contrary, is something you can't control with a classic fried egg, which can take any shape in the pan. So it is also a good hack to keep control of the shape of your fried egg.
