Shamrock Eggs

Here’s a healthy St. Patrick’s Day surprise for the kids. These eggs are the perfect quick way to get both veggies and protein at the beginning of the day.

Ingredients:

1 green bell pepper

4 eggs

2-3 tablespoons oil

cheese slices, optional

Directions:

1. Slice bell pepper into 1/4-inch thick circles. Heat cooking oil over medium-low heat in a skillet. Place 2-3 slices in the skillet and cook about 30 seconds per side.

2. Crack an egg into each bell pepper in the skillet. Allow eggs to cook inside pepper rings. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water to skillet and cover to steam the eggs - no need to flip them. Once eggs are cooked through, you can cover with a slice of cheese, if preferred. To melt the cheese, turn off heat and let eggs sit in pan with lid on.

Serves 2-3.
