Ingredients

2 pieces large eggs
1 ounce cheddar cheese, grated
1 tablespoon butter
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.125 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, swirling the pan to evenly coat the surface.

Step 2

Crack the eggs gently into the pan without breaking the yolks. Cook them until the whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3

Season the eggs with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs. Cover the skillet with a lid and let cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Step 5

Using a spatula, carefully transfer the fried eggs with melted cheese onto a plate.

Step 6

Serve immediately, either as a standalone snack or pair with a warm keto-friendly bread or a fresh salad for a fuller meal.
