Author Notes: My mom used to make this recipe for us when we were little, on cold rainy nights, when we were whinny and she was tired. Simple, delicious and heart warming. I renamed it “Ryan’s favourite eggs” after making it for my friend Ryan during a ski trip in Vermont, the day after he fell and dislocated his shoulder, because good food does make everything better. —Alisa Krishtal
Serves: 2
Ingredients
-
4
pieces Soft white bread
-
4-6
eggs
-
handfuls good quality freshly grated cheese
-
pinches salt and pepper
-
Your favourite hot sauce to serve
-
olive oil for frying
-
handfuls Finely chopped parsley
Directions
- Preheat a skillet at medium-high heat with a generous amount of olive oil.
- Add the slices of white bread (or halves of english muffin if no white bread is available) and fry on one side for a couple of minutes until they turn deliciously brown.
- When ready, flip the bread, break the eggs into the empty spaces between the bread slices, sprinkle with salt, eggs and the grated cheese, cover with a lid and turn the heat to medium low.
- Fry until the egg white harden and the cheese melts. It’s important to time it correctly so the eggs are runny in the middle.
- Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley and serve with your favourite hot sauce.
