Elevate your breakfast: The magic of frying eggs in cheddar cheese

A fried egg is a classic breakfast option that we all know. But did you know that you can prepare it in a completely new, surprising way? Kulinarna Wola shared a simple yet brilliant breakfast idea on Facebook: a fried egg in cheddar cheese. This recipe is straightforward, and the result will undoubtedly charm you.

To prepare this special dish, you need only a few basic ingredients:

• 1 egg,
• 2 slices of your favourite cheddar cheese,
• salt and pepper to taste,
• optional favourite seasonings, such as herb tomatoes.

Preparation of the fried egg in cheese

1. Preparing the pan: Place two slices of cheddar cheese in a cold pan. The pan must be cold so the cheese melts evenly.
2. Adding the egg: Gently crack the egg onto the cheese slices. Make sure the yolk remains whole and centred.
3. Frying: Turn the burner to medium heat. Season the egg with salt, pepper, and your favourite seasonings, such as herb tomatoes. Cover the pan with a lid.
4. Cooking time: Cook for about 5 minutes, until the egg white sets and the cheese becomes crispy at the edges.
5. Serving: Gently transfer the cooked fried egg to a plate. Serve immediately, preferably with crispy bread.

Additional tips:

• Instead of two cheese slices, you can use one larger slice.
• If you prefer firmer yolks, cook the egg longer.
• You can add other ingredients to the egg, such as ham, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
• Fried egg in cheddar cheese is a great idea for breakfast and lunch or dinner.

This breakfast idea not only surprises me with its simplicity but also with its excellent taste. The cheese, melting in the pan, creates a crispy, golden layer that pairs perfectly with the soft egg. Additionally, this way of preparing a fried egg allows for unlimited experimentation with seasonings to customize the flavour to your preferences.
