Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 non-dairy cheese slices (such as almond-based or soy-based)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully crack the eggs into the skillet, ensuring the yolks remain intact.
Cook the eggs for about 2-3 minutes or until the whites begin to set.
Carefully flip the eggs with a spatula to cook the other side for an additional 1 minute, or until whites are fully set and yolks reach desired doneness.
Place a slice of non-dairy cheese over each egg and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
Season the eggs with sea salt and black pepper.
Transfer the eggs to a plate and sprinkle with fresh chives.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your dairy-free fried eggs with melted cheese.
