Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter and olive oil. Allow both to melt together, creating a buttery base that won't burn thanks to the stabilized oil.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl to ensure no shells get into the dish, then carefully pour them one at a time into the skillet.
Reduce heat to low and let the eggs cook gently until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny, approximately 3-4 minutes. Avoid flipping the eggs to maintain the sunny-side-up presentation.
Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. For added flavor, finely chop the fresh chives and sprinkle them over the eggs just before finishing.
If you'd like an extra layer of indulgence, grate a light dusting of Parmesan cheese on top of the hot eggs just before removing them from the skillet.
Slide the eggs gently onto a plate using a spatula, taking care not to break the yolks.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, avocado slices, or any of your favorite sides for a complete breakfast experience.
