'Egg in a Hole' Peppers
Salad pepper rings stand in for bread in this healthy version of egg in a hole. Cook an egg inside the peppers and top with a vibrant avocado salsa.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 Salad Peppers
- 1 Avocado diced
- 1/2 cup Diced Red Onion
- 1 Jalapeño Pepper minced
- 1/2 cup Fresh Coriander, plus more for garnish
- 2 Tomatoes seeded and diced
- 1 Lime juiced
- 3/4 tsp Salt divided
- 2 tsp Olive Oil divided
- 8 Large Eggs
- 1/4 tsp Ground Pepper divided
Instructions
- Slice tops and bottoms off the peppers and finely dice. Remove and discard seeds and membranes. Slice each pepper into four 1/2-inch-thick rings.
- Combine the diced pepper with avocado, onion, jalapeño, coriander, tomatoes, lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 4 pepper rings, then crack 1 egg into the middle of each ring. Season with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are mostly set but the yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently flip and cook 1 minute more for runny yolks, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes more for firmer yolks. Transfer to serving plates and repeat with the remaining pepper rings and eggs.
- Serve with the avocado salsa and garnish with additional coriander, if desired.
