BELL PEPPER RING EGGS SUNNY-SIDE UP

FAST, VEGETARIAN, GLUTEN-FREE

Rings of beautiful peppers filled with sunny-side-up eggs are a wonderful start to the morning. You will need four ramekins to make this simple dish. Like spice? Feel free to add chili powder or hot sauce. You can also make these as scrambled rings by whisking the eggs before pouring them into the bell pepper slices.

MAKES 4 EGGS

PREP TIME: 6 minutes

COOK TIME: 5 to 7 minutes

BAKE: 350°F

½ bell pepper (any color)

4 teaspoons olive oil

4 eggs

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 . Slice the bell pepper into 4 quarter-inch-thick rings.

2 . Generously grease the ramekins with the olive oil.

3 . Divide the bell pepper rings evenly among the ramekins.

4 . Crack one egg into each bell pepper ring, then add salt and pepper.

5 . Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket and bake for about 5 minutes, just until set.

Ingredient tip: These taste great when you add a sprinkle of seasoning salt, paprika, granulated garlic, or onion powder. If you would like your eggs fully set, bake for an additional 2 minutes.
