Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 light spray Olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and place a non-stick frying pan on medium heat.
Lightly spray the pan with olive oil spray to coat the bottom evenly with minimal oil.
Crack the egg into a small bowl to ensure there are no shells, then gently slide it into the heated pan.
Allow the egg to cook for about 2-3 minutes until the white is mostly set and the edges begin to slightly crisp.
Sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the egg. Cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt and the top of the egg to steam cook.
Let it cook covered for another 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the yolk reaches your desired doneness.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Carefully transfer the egg to a plate using a spatula and serve immediately.
