Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely.
Crack the egg into a small bowl or cup, being careful to keep the yolk intact.
Gently slide the egg into the skillet, and let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are mostly set.
Season the egg with salt and black pepper to taste.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the egg to cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Or, if preferred, cook until the yolk reaches your desired degree of doneness.
Carefully slide the fried egg with cheese onto a plate using a spatula.
Serve immediately, accompanying it with toast or your favorite side dish if desired.
