Stop the presses. Two of my favorite things have come together for something amazing this Summer, and I’m not talking about NKOTBSB.
I was thinking about these for a while—how I’d cook them, how’d they come out, would it actually work, etc. They took a lot longer to cook than I anticipated(about 30 minutes, definitely not the most efficient way to cook eggs), but flavorwise tasted delicious with the charred pepper. It’s definitely a novelty dish; serve “grilled eggs” at your next outdoor party and expect a great reaction.
Grilled Eggs
Ingredients:
- 2 large bell peppers, top halves removed
- 4 medium eggs
- 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Brush the bottom of the peppers with olive oil.
Crack 2 eggs into each pepper half.
Heat a grill up to 400 degrees. Carefully place the peppers on the grill and close the lid.
Cook the eggs for about 25-30 minutes until the white on top has completely cooked. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm.
A little salt and pepper on the eggs brings out all the right flavors. The yolks are fully cooked and not runny, yet even though I don’t like hardboiled eggs these I didn’t mind. These would be perfect slathered in barbeque sauce.
Wow this looks awesome! Very creative. I wish I had a grill
Amazing idea considering these are two of my favorite foods as well! So glad some fellow BUA alums passed along your blog to me!
SUCH A GOOD IDEA!
Maybe they’d cook a bit quicker if you put some foil on top? Or even put back on the top of the pepper to steam the egg inside?
You are a genius!
My family would love these!
Wow – super cool idea. I love it. Mmmm….yummy and what a great thing for vegetarians at a cook out.
What an amazing idea! It’s totally the kind of crazy but delicious recipe I love.
Red peppers turned edible grilling container. My day is now complete.
Omg, genius. think it would still taste good if i mixed the egg together? I don’t like egg yolks by themselves.
Good idea! I don’t like the eggs cooked by themselves, either.
Holy crap this is SO smart and rad and yes, you win.
evan i love you! we just had grilled bottom round kebabs tonight. we’ve been grilling ourselves silly. guess who’s going to get peppers right now? can i wait 25 mins for the eggs!!! i dunno, patience is a virtue!
You’re so inventive! These look awesome, even though I am generally not a huge fan of non-runny yolks. And, I totally love the NKOTBSB shoutout
Totally. Genius.
those are so much more exciting than jordan and donnie and whoever else were in that group (i never liked boy bands)
awesome presentation!
Love the idea — I’m going to copy you someday. What a fun presentation too! Thanks for sharing.

I threw slices of fresh cherry tomatoes in with the eggs. Quite nice.
WOW. What an incredible idea. That looks so delicious.
[...] vegetarian and gluten free recipes on the block but most of them include my beloved eggs. So I knew this recipe would not fail [...]
How about trying this with tomatoes instead of peppers?
Brilliant! Thanks for the post. I’m going to serve these along with a fully-grilled breakfast.
