They say breakfast, your first meal of the day, is the most important one. But it’s also the most often skipped. Because let’s face it, not everyone’s a morning person. Sometimes you just want a breakfast that’s not only tasty, easy to prepare but also healthy. This is THAT breakfast. It’s called an egg-in-a-hole.

3. Begin by warming your cast iron skillet up to medium low while melting the fat of your choice. After the fat melts, put your bell pepper rings flat in the pan. Allow to cook for a few minutes, then flip.
4. Crack your egg inside. Sprinkle seasonings on top of the egg. Some whites may leak from under the bottom of your rings. Not to worry. Just press down on your rings with a spatula to minimize spread and help the edges “set”.
5. After 2 minutes, your white should look like this. It’s time to flip! If you’re really bad at flipping things, you can cover your cast iron skillet with a lid or a plate to trap the heat in and allow the egg yolk to firm up.
