Description

Baked Eggs in Bell Pepper Rings is a colorful and healthy breakfast option where large bell pepper slices are used as edible cups to hold eggs, baked until perfectly cooked. This low-carb, gluten-free, and vegetarian dish is easy to prepare and customizable with herbs and cheese for added flavor.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large bell peppers (any color), sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (optional)
  • Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare Bell Pepper Rings: Slice the bell peppers into 1/2-inch thick rings and remove all seeds and membranes carefully to create neat edible cups.
  3. Arrange and Oil: Lay the bell pepper rings on the prepared baking sheet, brushing both sides lightly with olive oil to enhance roasting and prevent drying.
  4. Add Eggs: Carefully crack one egg into each pepper ring, trying to keep the yolks intact for an attractive presentation. For ease, crack eggs into a small bowl first, then pour into rings.
  5. Season: Sprinkle each egg and pepper ring with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika evenly to build flavor.
  6. Add Cheese (Optional): If using, sprinkle a pinch of shredded cheese on top of each egg for a creamy and savory finish.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks reach your preferred doneness.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives, and serve warm, optionally with toast or avocado slices.

Notes

  • For easier egg placement, crack each egg into a small bowl first, then pour into the pepper ring to avoid breaking the yolk.
  • Use different colored bell peppers to create a vibrant, visually appealing dish.
  • Great served on toast or topped with avocado slices for a satisfying breakfast.
