Ingredients

1 piece Large egg
2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon Butter
0.25 teaspoon Salt
0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely.

Season the egg with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 5

Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg.

Step 6

Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the egg to cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Or, if preferred, cook until the yolk reaches your desired degree of doneness.
