Tips for the recipe

To ensure your eggs don’t run out from under your bell pepper rings in the pan, make sure to slice the pepper rings with a flat edge. Lay the bell pepper rings on an unused pan to check that they’re level. You don’t have to be perfect - watch the eggs while they cook in your pepper rings. You can use a spatula to fix any leaking egg while it cooks.

What type of chorizo should I use?

Look for raw, seasoned chorizo that comes either in a casing or ground finely in a package. You may find this in the refrigeration aisle in your grocery store near other cased sausages or breakfast meat. When you cook the chorizo, you’ll remove it from the casing and break it up in your pan using a spatula.

Are bell peppers Keto-friendly?

If you’re on a strict Keto diet, a medical professional may have advised you to avoid bell peppers. Never go against what a doctor asks you to do. However, if you’re doing a “dirty” Keto diet, bell peppers are actually a great vegetable to eat in moderation. This Keto breakfast recipe uses thinly sliced peppers that add few carbs to your meal.
