Ingredients
- ✓4 large eggs
- ✓180 ml shredded cheddar or feta cheese
- ✓30 ml honey
- ✓0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- ✓15 ml butter
- ✓1 pinch sea salt
- ✓1 pinch black pepper
- ✓2 slices crusty bread
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the honey and red pepper flakes together. Set aside to let the flavors infuse while cooking.
💡 Tip: Warm the honey in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to make it easier to drizzle.
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the skillet floor into small rounds or one uniform bed.
💡 Tip: Let the cheese melt and start sizzling before adding the eggs.
Crack the eggs directly on top of the bubbling cheese layer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and cook until the whites are set and the cheese forms a crispy brown crust underneath.
💡 Tip: Covering the pan helps cook the top of the egg whites while keeping the yolk runny.
Transfer the cheesy fried eggs onto toasted crusty bread slices. Drizzle generously with the prepared hot honey, season with salt and black pepper, and serve immediately.
📝 Chef's Notes
Best enjoyed immediately while the cheese retains its crisp texture and the yolk remains runny.
