- 2 non-dairy cheese slices (such as almond-based or soy-based)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

Place a slice of non-dairy cheese over each egg and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
