Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 ounce cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, swirling the pan to evenly coat the surface.
Crack the eggs gently into the pan without breaking the yolks. Cook them until the whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs. Cover the skillet with a lid and let cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Using a spatula, carefully transfer the fried eggs with melted cheese onto a plate.
Serve immediately, either as a standalone snack or pair with a warm keto-friendly bread or a fresh salad for a fuller meal.
