How to Make Amazing Over Easy Eggs

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat.
  2. Crack 2 eggs gently into the pan, leaving about 1 inch between each egg.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  4. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the egg whites.
  5. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chopped rosemary generously over the cheese.
  6. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Once the cheese has melted (about 1-2 minutes), gently flip the eggs using a spatula. Be careful not to break the yolks.
  8. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency.
  9. Carefully slide the eggs onto a plate.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
