Instructions
Fried Eggs in Bell Pepper
- Preheat an enameled cast iron skillet over medium heat and add in the butter.

- Crack the eggs inside bell pepper rings and start cooking the eggs slowly over medium heat.
- Do not move the eggs until the egg whites turn solid. Cook over medium heat making sure not to overcook or burn the egg whites.
- Once the egg whites turn a bit solid, use a wooden spatula to unstick the eggs from the pan. You don’t have to turn the eggs on the other side, but you can move them if you want.
- Once the egg yolks look are solid and cooked, remove skillet from heat and set aside.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over fried eggs and prepare to assemble the dish (see below).

- Use a spatula and transfer cooked eggs together with bell pepper rings on a plate. We’ve already added salt and pepper so there no need for more.
- Garnish with herbs and chopped scallions.
- Complete the dish by adding your favorite extras on the side. I used lettuce, olives, chopped scallions, blueberries and brie cheese - see my images for inspiration.
- That was it! You’ve just finished cooking the best fried eggs ever. How easy (and fun) was that?!
I am fan of eating eggs for breakfast and this recipe inspires me to add a bit of variation to my boring (read “healthy”) fried eggs!
I really love cooking eggs like this since I found this recipe.
I’ve also tried the combination of fried eggs, berries and brie cheese and it is pure delish!

Super easy recipe to cook, I love the combination of fried eggs cooked in bell pepper. The Brie de Meaux is a new one to me but I can gladly say that it was perfect here!
I eat eggs cooked in many ways and this recipe reminds me of my Grandma’s fried eggs in veggies. Delish!
