Flower Power Eggs

I found this recipe (and lots of others!!) on pinterest.

The website says to:
1) Cut bell peppers into 1/2 inch rings; 2) Place in a lightly oiled non-stick skillet; and 3) Crack an egg in the middle of each ring and cover and cook over low heat until done. If you like your yolks runny, just cook over low heat until whites are done. If you like your yolks firm, break the yolks and then cook over low heat until both whites and yolks are firm.

I did this, but as you can see from the picture, mine did not turn out as pretty as theirs. :) The peppers worked pretty well to corral the eggs- a little egg white seeped out the bottoms but mostly the eggs stayed in their pepper rings.
I did not keep the heat on low, so the egg whites started to brown on the bottom while they were still liquid on top. I solved this by flipping the whole thing over once the bottom was cooked. If I had paid attention and left it on low, maybe they would have turned out as pretty as the original picture. (Go look at it in the original link, if you didn't already!) I'll try again sometime.
Either way, they were good. :)
