I really enjoyed this dinner. My husband said he would rather have eggs and bell peppers together in a western omelet. Okay, fair enough – I’ll make it when he is out of town or away for dinner.

Adapted from http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/bell-pepper-egg-in-a-hole

1 t olive oil
1 t butter
Bell Pepper, cut into ½ inch slices (I got 4)
4 eggs
Salt and pepper

Heat oil and butter in a non-stick skillet. Add pepper slice and then crack 1 egg into each pepper ring. Cook until whites are mostly set, 2-3 minutes. Gently slip and cook 1 minute more for over easy. Remove from skillet to plate and season with salt and pepper.

NOTE: the original recipe has parmesan cheese sprinkled on the top. YUM! Wish I would have remembered.
