You know the classic way to make eggs in a basket. Cut a hole out of a piece of bread. Crack the egg in the hole. Cook until perfection.
While I had bread in the cabinet this morning, I don’t want to eat a lot of it. So I improvised.
I had a slightly wrinkly orange bell pepper. It was on the verge of going bad. So I sliced it into rings and sautéed them in a little oil with some salt and pepper.
I cracked farm fresh eggs in a ramakin one at a time and poured them into each ring. Right before I poured the egg in, I put a pat of butter on the hot pan.
I toasted two slices of wheat bread. One for me and one for the boyfriend. Flipped the eggs. I cooked them a little too long. No runny yolks today. And I topped the eggs in a basket with Parmesan cheese.
Amazing! Extra veggie kick with the bell pepper. Definitely a brunch treat you want to try. I know it will be a staple in our house.
What did you make for breakfast this morning?
I did almost the same thing – but I baked my eyes in whole bell peppers with tomato sauce and spinach and then cheese on top. I agree – yum. 😍

Careful with baking your eyes. Haha. I’m sure you meant eggs. That sounds really good. I’ll have to try the tomato sauce and spinach. Never don’t that before. Thanks for sharing your idea.

Oh yes. Don’t think cannibalism is my thing especially as a vegetarian. Whoops! 😱 Its lovely but I prefer to slice the peppers like you did, when I’ve got less time.
