Step 1
Slice the 2 chili peppers into thin rings, removing seeds if you prefer less heat. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Carefully crack the 2 eggs into the skillet. Sprinkle with the 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 4
Scatter the chili rings over and around the eggs. Cook until the whites are set and edges are crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
For a runny yolk, remove immediately; for firmer yolk, cook 1-2 minutes more. Serve hot.
