Ingredients

• 2 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
• 4 large eggs
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the bell peppers thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Slice the bell peppers into 1/2-inch-thick horizontal rings, discarding the tops, bottoms, and seeds. Aim for four evenly sized rings.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the bell pepper rings in the skillet, ensuring they are lying flat against the surface.

Step 5

Crack one egg into a small bowl to ensure the yolk stays intact. Gently pour the egg into the center of a bell pepper ring. Repeat for the remaining eggs and pepper rings.

Step 6

Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the eggs.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the eggs to cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 4-5 minutes. For firmer yolks, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the sunny-side-up pepper flowers to a plate using a spatula.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives, if desired, and serve immediately.
