Fried Eggs with Cheese
yield: 1 SERVINGS
prep time: 2 MINUTES
cook time: 5 MINUTES
total time: 7 MINUTES
Fried egg cooked on top of melted cheese until the cheese is perfectly crispy.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 eggs
- salt and pepper, if desired
- optional toppings: avocado chunks, sour cream, green onion
Directions
1
Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
2
Once hot, place 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on the skillet and slightly flatten out the cheese to form a circle, about the size of a small corn tortilla. Repeat with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese.
3
Let the cheese melt for 1 to 3 minutes and then crack your egg directly over the melted cheese. If you want an over-easy egg, let the cheese melt for closer to 3 minutes. If you want an over-hard egg, let the cheese melt for about 1 minute or so. Add salt and pepper if desired.
4
Cook your eggs for 3 to 5 minutes and then flip over if you'd like your egg cooked more (and not runny). Cook until eggs reach desired doneness, up to an additional 2 to 3 minutes, and then remove from skillet and serve. Top with sour cream, green onions, avocado, etc if desired. Enjoy!
