Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 piece Medium bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley
Directions
Step 1
Slice the bell pepper horizontally to create two thick rings, about 1/2-inch each. Remove any seeds or white pith inside the rings.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Step 3
Place the bell pepper rings in the skillet and let them cook for about 1 minute to slightly soften.
Step 4
Carefully crack one egg into the center of each bell pepper ring. If necessary, gently adjust the position of the bell pepper to contain the egg.
Step 5
Season the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your desired consistency.
Step 7
Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the eggs during the last minute of cooking and cover again to melt.
Step 8
Gently remove the keto egg in a basket from the skillet using a spatula and place them onto a serving plate.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
