Eggs In A Pepper

Egg in a frame (or egg in a hole) is one of our all-time favorite breakfasts. I am always looking for a new twist on an old standby recipe, so when I saw the 'Egg in a Pepper' craze on Pinterest I knew I had to try.  Add this easy and fun way to prep eggs to your breakfast rotation!

Servings: 4
Serving Size: 1 Egg in a Pepper
Points Plus: 2pp
Prep Time: Less than 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Level of Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
4 eggs
1 large green pepper (or colored pepper of your choice)
Cooking spray
Kosher salt + pepper to taste

Directions
Wash your pepper and cut it into four rings, about 1/2 inch thick. Spritz your non-stick skillet with cooking spray and pre-cook the peppers a bit, about 90 seconds on each side over medium heat. Carefully crack one egg into the center of each pepper. Cook the egg until it is to your desired doneness (is that a word).  I wanted to try to make these sunny-side-up, so cooked the eggs for about 4 minutes, just on one side, over medium heat.  If you like your eggs fried and more cooked you could flip them after about 2 minutes. Remove your eggs from the pan and plate, sparkling with kosher salt and pepper to taste.

Tip
Make sure that you don't cut your pepper rings too thin.  A few of my rings were, causing the egg to leak over the top. To get the prettiest of eggs I cut them about 1/2 thick.
