How to Make Eggs With Cheese And Olive Oil

  1. Heat a large (10-inch) skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 4 teaspoons (2 tablespoons) of extra virgin olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat evenly.

  4. Sprinkle each egg with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Top with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite).
  5. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil over the cheese on each egg.

  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your gourmet fried eggs!
