summer recipe :: pepper hole eggs
July 2, 2010
happy friday lovelies! today marks the first recipe in our summer series, yeah! summer recipes are always the easiest, just about everything grows in the beautiful warmth of summer! today’s recipe is easy, beautiful and delicious. i like to call it ‘pepper hole eggs’.
ingredients:
- 1 large sweet pepper (i used local purple heirlooms peppers here, but any kind will work)
- 3 eggs, local eggs are always easy to find!
- 1 tbs of butter
- salt and pepper to taste
directions:
slice your pepper sideways to create hollow rings about 1/3″ thick. let your butter melt in a skillet over medium heat. once butter has melted, place your pepper rings in a single layer in the pan. crack one egg in each pepper hole. depending on whether you like your eggs over easy, medium or hard you can remove them from the pan or flip them accordingly. for over hard, let cook until the yellows are slightly firm then flip with a spatula. let them cook a few more minutes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.
these are delicious by themselves, over salads or as an easy meat replacement for dinner. you can even sprinkle a little parmesan cheese over them to bring out a new rich flavor, enjoy!
