Omelet Inside a Pepper Ring: I've Succumbed to the Pinterest Peer Pressure

You guys! I have succumbed to the Pinterest peer pressure.

I'm not even kidding. You know those zillions of pins with eggs cooked inside the pepper rings?

I've seen them everywhere. Even my twin sister made them.

Keep in mind, I've never even tried to smoke a cigarette. Not to mention I hardly drink and have never tried any illegal substances. I can say NO easily to many things that others crumble upon.

But when it came to eggs cooked in pepper rings, I was weak.

Please forgive me ;)

I made a few changes to my version of this dish: I cooked the peppers on one side first and I whisked the eggs before pouring them into the rings.

Although some of the egg mixture leaked a bit, I think this was a pretty successful breakfast. And, this gives me an opportunity to share with you this cute little ceramic egg holder I bought at Marshalls: $2.99!
