Slice peppers in to about 1” thick rings. We like using sweet peppers, but any kind will do.

Hint: One pepper will make 3-5 slices depending on the size of the pepper. You want to get large, uniformly sized peppers.

Heat a frying pan or griddle to medium-high (350 F) and light butter.

Now crack an egg into each of the pepper rings. We cook ours on a griddle as we can get sandwiches for all 5 of us ready at the same time. If your kids prefer you can scramble the egg in a small bowl before pouring it in the pepper (like the back pepper in the picture)

HINT: Press down around the pepper walls to make a tight seal for 5 seconds to avoid any of the egg creeping under the pepper wall.

Cook for about 5-7 minutes and then flip gently with a spatula. The pepper cooks up beautifully at the same time as the egg.

We sprinkle with salt and pepper at this point.

As soon as you flip the peppers, top with a slice of White American or Pepper Jack cheese. It will get nice and melted as it cooks during the final 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast an English Muffin (or use homemade English muffins like we do) in the toaster.

Then put the pepper egg disc in the English Muffin. Serve warm!
