Pepper-Pepper Eggs (Reddit Inspired)

Just like that, back down the culinary trail we go, and do I have a breakfast (lunch/dinner, usually taking place at about 3a.m. ) for you! 


PEPPER-PEPPER EGGS - They're not just for Reddit Anymore


So yeah, this idea was brought to my attention a few weeks back on Reddit, and I think I've finally brought it to an adequate conclusion. 


Ingredients for the science: 

-Eggs
-1 large green pepper
-Crushed Red Pepper (seasoning)
-Sprinkle-y delicious cheese
-1 - 1/4 remaining bottle of Riesling
-Katana






Steps:


1) Using your katana, slice the top of the pepper off (about 1 cm) and remove the seed bulb from within. Throw the top portion away.


2) Slice the pepper in about 3/4" sections untill there are four rings (typically) + the bottom of the pepper. Be sure to remove any interior "gunk" so that only the external dark-green part of the pepper remains in your slices. 


3) In a large, sprayed skillet, fry your pepper rings on either side to get them heated thoroughly and slightly cooked. With the peppers as flush to the bottom of the pan as possible, crack an egg into each opening. Turn your heat on low and sprinkle crushed red pepper on each of the eggs. 

(In this example, i'm also frying the bottom which I will use as a top for one of the peppers. Notice how some of the egg-white escaped in the top of the pan? That, folks, is called failure. )


4) At this point you're gonna wanna cover the pan and turn the heat down a little bit below medium. Eggs do NOT cook in this form very well at all. You need to cook them thoroughly, but SLOWLY or else you'll burn the egg-white. Continue cooking this way for about 5-10 minutes till most of the milky white crap has denatured. After that point, cook them to your desired hardness. You can cook these eggs slowly until they are fully cooked and hard, even though they are sunny-side up. In all honesty, however; learn how to eat egg yolk...pansy. 


5) Open the cover of your pan and sprinkle some of the shredded cheese of your choice. Recover for 2 more minutes. 


6) Pour your wine which you had left over after the whole steak incident a few weeks ago, and make some toast - pause--


I know what you're thinking. "Bryan, why didn't you list bread in your ingredients? Since you're planning on berating us about not eating exactly like you, how can you expect us to follow instructions when you put down extraneous crap in your lists like swords and alcohol, yet refuse to put in bread, which is easily the only carbohydrate to be found in this meal". 


Well, that's a good point, but honestly-- I wish you'd stop interrupting my blog, and toast some damn bread. More importantly, swords and alcohol go together like swords and anything. Honestly, pick any activity and add a sword. Now tell me it did not just become incredibly more fun...thought so...


Glad we took care of that. At this point, you can use a spatula to remove the pepper-eggs out of the pan. They'll come together and should be mess free, no worries :)

Any recommendations for the next recipe? Something you want to see me do my take on?
