How to Make Delicious and Visually Appealing Bell Pepper Steamed Eggs
Enjoy a visually stunning and incredibly tasty steamed egg dish nestled inside vibrant bell peppers. This recipe is perfect for a healthy and beautiful meal.
Ingredients- 2 Bell Peppers (choose a variety of colors for a beautiful presentation)
- 2-3 Eggs
- A pinch of salted shrimp or salt (for seasoning)
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (to taste)
- Dried Parsley Flakes (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the bell peppers. Carefully cut off the top ‘stem’ part of each pepper, then remove all the seeds and the white membrane from the inside. This ensures a clean and pleasant eating experience.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them well, ensuring to break up the chalazae (the white stringy bits). For an exceptionally smooth and silky texture, strain the egg mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. This step guarantees a velvety custard.
Step 3
Finely dice the prepared bell peppers into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to the beaten eggs. (Feel free to add finely chopped onions or carrots here for extra flavor and texture). Season the egg mixture with a pinch of salted shrimp or salt, then mix everything together thoroughly. Using salted shrimp will add a wonderful umami depth to your dish.
Step 4
Carefully pour the egg and bell pepper mixture into the prepared bell pepper halves, filling them about two-thirds of the way full. Be careful not to overfill, as the egg will expand slightly when cooked.
Step 5
Finally, generously top each bell pepper cup with shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with dried parsley flakes for a beautiful finish. Place them in a preheated oven set at 200°C (390°F) and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Your delicious Bell Pepper Steamed Egg Cups are ready to be enjoyed!
