Description

This easy keto breakfast is ready in under 30 minutes. Bake eggs in colorful bell pepper rings, instead of toast, to keep it fresh, low-carb and full of fresh flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

2 large bell peppers

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil

a pinch of salt

a dash of pepper


Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F. 

Prepare bell pepper rings. This method makes thick rings to hold the eggs (with room for extras like beans and shredded cheese).

First, cut a thin slice off the tops and bottoms of the peppers.

Next, slice the peppers in half crosswise.

Red and orange bell peppers on a cutting board with tops and bottoms removed next to a knife.
Then, use a spoon to scrape out and discard the seeds and pulp from bell peppers.

Roast peppers for 10 minutes.
Remove skillet from oven. Crack an egg into the center of each pepper ring.

Bake eggs for 5 minutes.

Turn off oven and leave eggs in oven for 2- 5 minutes more until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft and runny. Check every minute until they are done. Give the pan a little shake to check. The egg whites should be opaque and the yolks jiggle a little bit.

Season with salt and pepper.

Notes

Tip: Save the scraps of pepper from the tops and bottoms for snacking with hummus, or dice them up for an omelet and other dishes.
