This traditional egg in a hole recipe with a bell pepper makeover is the ultimate breakfast idea for busy mornings. Make this simple and easy dish in under five minutes!
We all love the classic egg in a hole which is one of the simplest breakfast ideas ever. But, keep on reading, because the bell peppers (capsicums) in this recipe are going to make it extra special. And so delicious that it's going to be your next family favorite!
This is my go-to breakfast recipe for busy days. Super quick brekkie ideas always save my day.
Choose bell peppers that are more round in shape. This will give you wide round rings to cook the eggs. Cut slices from the widest part of the bell pepper. Make sure you cut slices thick enough to hold the eggs without spilling them. After cutting into slices, don't forget to remove the seeds.
Now all you need to do is place the slices in a pan. Then break the eggs in them. Cook over a low flame. At this point, you can decide how long to cook your egg. Depending on the cooking time, you'll get runny yolk or well-cooked egg.
That's it! This bell pepper egg in a hole is such a simple recipe that you must definitely try just because it comes with zero effort.
