Fried egg in cheese - recipe

To prepare this special dish, you need only a few basic ingredients:

          
  • 1 egg
  • 2 slices of your favorite cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional favorite seasonings, such as herb tomatoes

Preparation of the fried egg in cheese:

  1. Preparing the pan: Place two slices of cheddar cheese in a cold pan. The pan must be cold so the cheese melts evenly.
  2. Adding the egg: Gently crack the egg onto the cheese slices. Make sure the yolk remains whole and centered.
  3. Frying: Turn the burner to medium heat. Season the egg with salt, pepper, and favorite seasonings, such as herb tomatoes. Cover the pan with a lid.
  4. Cooking time: Cook for about 4 minutes, until the egg white sets and the cheese becomes crispy at the edges.
  5. Serving: Gently transfer the cooked fried egg to a plate. Serve immediately, preferably with crispy bread.

Additional tips:

  • Instead of two cheese slices, you can use one larger slice.
  • If you prefer firmer yolks, cook the egg longer.
  • You can add other ingredients to the egg, such as ham, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
  • Fried egg in cheddar cheese is a great idea for breakfast and lunch or dinner.

This breakfast idea not only surprises me with its simplicity but also with its excellent taste. The cheese, melting in the pan, creates a crispy, golden layer that pairs perfectly with the soft egg. Additionally, this way of preparing a fried egg allows for unlimited experimentation with seasonings to customize the flavor to your preferences.
