If you slice a bell pepper across the width into 1/2 inch slices, they form a shamrock! I heated eggs in the center of each bell pepper slice and it made a surprising morning breakfast. What a wonderful way to make eggs and vegetables a star for a St. Patrick’s Day breakfast!
Irish Bell Pepper Eggs
Ingredients
- eggs (as many as you have bell pepper rings)
- green bell peppers

Instructions
- Wash and clean out bell pepper
- Slice across the bell pepper to make shamrock rings
- Heat butter or oil in frying pan ( I used a little of both)

What an awesome idea. Talk about thinking outside the box…. I tried it and is really great. I’ve used three different types of Bell Peppers now and I love them all. I may never eat eggs plain again… thanks for the great idea and recipe..
