When my camera met Mr.Egg!

Bullseye is a term my mom uses for an egg cracked directly into a hot pan and cooked until just done. And seasoned with salt and pepper of course. One quick and simple way to eat an egg. Egg is partially cooked in this type of preparation. Since I am afraid of consuming raw eggs, I would cover the pan and cook a little more.

Here I am adding some natural color, flavor, and nutrition to the good old bullseye. Enjoy!


Heat up oil in a very small pan, preferably cast iron pan. Add a tbsp of onion slices and seasoning salt. Cook it for a couple of minutes. Then add a handful of chopped bell peppers. Use different colors to make it colorful. Continue cooking for a couple of minutes more.

Then move the peppers to the sides of the pan and make some room in the middle. Crack egg into this place. Sprinkle salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle some cheddar cheese and chopped parsley.

Cover and cook on a low flame until the egg is done, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate. Serve hot.

Some eggs are posing..........



She had this weird look when she saw me photographing eggs! But she agreed to model for me.


And she was delighted when I let her play with a raw egg as a reward for modeling! I managed to get it back from her right before she squished it. Phew!


I am going to send the first picture(the one with 3 eggs in the red background) to Jugalbandi's brand new event- Click. Any objections? :)

You call it bullseye too? I flip it over and cook it on both sides. Your daughter's fingers are so cute! :)

sra said...

We called it bullseye too. for a long time as a kid, i thought it was a telugu word for that dish :)

Asha said...

I have heard Bullseye too but never tries it.It's called Eggs made Sunny side up here in the restaurants.Looks yum!:))
Yeah, take away all the fun from her before she gives you more work! Spoken like a true mom!!;D
I bet dads would let her play, break the eggs and make a mess!!!

Thats a pampered bullseye:) I used to love bullseye and bread combo....I never thought of it as uncooked yolk, until i read your post!!!so that mean , all those years I was eating partly raw eggs? :(

Mishmash ! said...

Mansi Desai said...

The pics look nice! I liked the egg with the green stalk in the background...send that one too to bee's event!

RP said...

I am surprised to see there are many of us who call it a bullseye. I thought so too, but when I googled for egg bullseye images, nothing of that kind came up. So I thought maybe it is not a commonly used term!

bee, I am not at all good in photography. Once I sent a picture to a photography contest conducted by a flickr group, and I removed the pic a couple of days later after getting not so good comments about the picture. :) LOL whats a bull's eye without the yolk!

jyothsna, covering the pan also works good. The steam develops inside helps the egg cook thoroughly. Thanks.

sra, thanks, and I thought it was bull's eye!

Tee said...

bindiya said...

my favorite food ,just love these sunny-side up, bullseye eggs, whatever you call them !

RP said...

asha, yup! sunny side up it is! Of course dad would let her crack it and make a mess. True dad! :D

shn, I have been eating those uncooked egg too...when I wasn't aware of the thing called 'food safety'. :) If the yolk is runny, it is uncooked. So I cook until it is set.

dhivya, I hope your husband likes it. :)

pravs, :) I am thinking to hire her as a professional model for my workshop.

mansi, glad you liked it. I will send both. :)

tee, so you are unfamiliar of bullseye! Thanks, and I am glad you learned a new term. :)

hima, thanks.

raks, thanks.

sig, yes it is. Much more better!

Beautiful pix.

Manisha said...

RP, you made her pose and then you didn't send in a picture with her in it? Baaaad! Very baaad!

She's got lovely hands.

Gorgeous pics!

I am hooked on sunny side up, once again. Lots of salt is needed on the yolk, though. Otherwise I am not a fan of the yolk.
