Instructions
-
Prepare the Vegetables: Start by finely dicing the bell pepper and onion. This will ensure that they blend well into the egg mixture and add flavor throughout.
-

Prepare for Steaming: To steam the eggs, fill a pot with a small amount of water and bring it to a boil. Pour the egg mixture into a heatproof dish or mold. For best results, use a plastic container that is safe for steaming. If you use a glass dish, be aware that it might take longer to cook due to its thickness—about 45 minutes, in fact.
-
Steam the Eggs: Place the dish with the egg mixture into the pot once the water is boiling. Cover the pot with a lid to prevent water from dripping into the eggs during steaming. Steam the eggs until they are fully set and cooked through. The exact time may vary based on the container used.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the eggs are cooked, carefully remove the dish from the pot. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your healthy, steamed mozzarella eggs!
