🍳 How to cook (1 serving):

Cooking Time: 5-10 minutesPreperation Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

- 1 ring of bell pepper (approximately 20-30 grams) - 1 egg (approximately 50 grams) - A pinch of salt - A pinch of pepper - 1 teaspoon of cooking oil or butter - Additional seasonings (optional, such as herbs or cheese, quantities will vary)

Preparation

1. Start by carefully cutting a ring from the bell pepper, ensuring it's thick enough to hold an egg but not too thick that it won't cook evenly. 2. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the cooking oil or butter. 3. Once the oil is hot or the butter is melted, place the bell pepper ring in the pan. 4. Crack the egg directly into the center of the bell pepper ring. If desired, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings. 5. Cook for a few minutes on one side, then carefully flip to allow the other side to cook. The cooking time will depend on how runny or firm you prefer your egg. 6. Once the egg is cooked to your liking and the bell pepper is tender, carefully remove it from the pan and serve immediately.
