Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup shredded cheese of choice (we used cheddar)
- 1–2 eggs, split yolk from whites
- salt & pepper to taste
- chopped chives, optional
Instructions
- Have items all ready by your side as this goes quickly!
- On your cooktop, turn burner to medium high heat. Once hot, put shredded cheese in pan, spreading around a bit to form a “crust”.
- Once fully melted but not browning yet, carefully pour egg WHITE (white only – not the yolk) over the cheese. Top with lid to help contain heat & cook through.
- Once whites are almost fully cooked, carefully pour yolks on top of whites. Put lid on again to finish cooking. Cook just enough until whites are fully cooked.
- Season to taste with salt & pepper. Garnish with any sides you desire.
- Plate & enjoy!
Notes
- We used “Everything But the Bagel” seasoning to replace our salt and sliced avocado. Feel free to mix it up with whatever you enjoy with it.
