Ingredients

• 1 piece Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your preference)
• 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.

Step 2

Crack the egg into a small bowl to ensure no shell pieces get in, then gently pour the egg into the skillet.

Step 3

Let the egg cook undisturbed until the whites are mostly set but the yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the egg whites, avoiding the yolk if you prefer it intact.

Step 5

Using a spatula, gently flip the egg over to allow the cheese to melt and the egg to cook on the other side, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Season the egg with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the flipped egg with cheese to a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy as is or with toast or fresh greens!
