Air Fryer Bell Pepper Egg in a Hole Recipe Tips:
+ You can also add bacon, ham, or slices of cheese to this recipe. Just put it at the bottom of the bell pepper before you add the egg so it doesn’t fly off in the air fryer.
+ If you don’t have an air fryer, you can also make this dish in the oven. Just bake in the oven at 325 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Continue to cook in 2 minute increments as needed, until the eggs are cooked through.
