    We are asked to add chilli, but this is not in the ingredients list! Any idea how much?

    Am planning to cook this meal, but find the directions and the ingredient listing rather confusing!! The ingredients call for 2 eggs and yet the directions state to make 4 hollows and break an egg into each?? Which is it 2 eggs or 4? That being said the recipe seems quite interesting and will comment later when it has been made... Rant Over!!!

    Actually it says 1 red pepper . . . I see Bex's problem! I'd go with 1/2 tsp of chilli powder or something but that's just my taste.

    Suprisingly tasty- didn't have any eggs the first time i made it, so added in some fried bacon, worked a treat. Now a regular of ours!
