Egg in a Hole Peppers with Avocado Salsa
Colorful bell 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 for a cheerful breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 bell peppers, any color
- 1 avocado, diced
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 1 jalapeño pepper, minced
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
- 2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
- juice of 1 lime
- ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
Directions
- Slice tops and bottoms off bell 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, cilantro, 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 bell 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 cilantro, if desired.
