Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 eggs
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick pan on low. Melt butter on the pan.
- Add a layer of cheese along the perimeter of the pan, leaving an empty space in the center of the pan.
- Crack the eggs into the empty center. Raise the heat to med-low. Once the egg white is about 2/3 cooked through, cover the pan with foil.
- Once the top of the egg and cheese are melted, use a spatula to check the skirt. It is done when the skirt is browned, has crisp edges, and can easily lift off the pan without breaking.
- Remove from heat. Add salt + pepper.
- Serve with bacon and a slice of toast.
Notes
- Slow and steady wins the race. This dish is very easy to make as long as you pay attention to the heat of your pan. You want to cook it slow, low, and steady so that the eggs will cook through without blackening the cheese skirt.
