Ingredients

Uncooked reduced fat center cut bacon

8 slice(s)

Green pepper(s)

1 large, (preferably a tall one rather than a squat one)

Sweet red pepper(s)

1 large, (preferably a tall one rather than a squat one)

Egg(s)

8 large

White wine vinegar

2 tsp(s)

Table salt

1 pinch, or to taste (optional)

Black pepper

1 pinch, or to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Adjust racks to divide oven in half and preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange bacon in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until brown and crisp, 10-12 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, slice off stem end and bottom of each bell pepper; cut out core and membranes inside each pepper. Evenly slice cored peppers into ½-inch rings.
  3. Use kitchen tongs to transfer cooked bacon to a serving platter. Set 4 green pepper rings and 4 red pepper rings (reserve extra rings to use in salads or sandwiches) in bacon fat on hot baking sheet (if pan has cooled, put back in the oven for 1-2 minutes before setting peppers on it). Crack an egg into each ring. Bake until eggs are cooked to your liking, about 4 minutes for runny yolks, and up to 6 minutes for harder set ones.
  4. Remove baking sheet from oven, sprinkle about ¼ tsp vinegar over each egg and season with salt and pepper (if using). Transfer eggs in their rings to plates with a metal spatula. Serve with bacon.
  5. Serving size: 2 eggs, 2 strips bacon

Notes

Choose bell peppers that are tall rather than squat. There’s no need to turn the bacon while it’s baking. Both sides will crisp in the bacon fat.
