Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine nutritional yeast, unsweetened almond milk, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth, cheese-like sauce. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the ghee. Allow it to melt completely.
Step 3
Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them separate. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
Step 4
Gently flip each egg using a spatula, and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 5
Transfer the eggs to a serving plate. Drizzle the nutritional yeast sauce over the eggs evenly to mimic a cheesy topping.
Step 6
Sprinkle fresh chopped chives on top for garnish and added flavor.
Step 7
Serve immediately while the eggs are warm, and enjoy your Whole30 Fried Egg with Cheese-like goodness.
