INGREDIENTS

  • • 2 eggs
  • • ¼ cup cheddar cheese, grated (or Monterey Jack)
  • • ½ tsp olive oil (or butter)
  • • Salt and pepper to taste
  • • 1 slice wholegrain bread (toasted)


INSTRUCTIONS


1. Put a frying pan onto a medium heat and put in the butter or oil.
2. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat quickly with a fork.
3. Grate the cheese and have it ready.
4. Tip the beaten eggs into the frying pan.
5. Layer the cheese on top.
6. The eggs will start to solidify almost straight away – as soon as they do use a spatula and ‘pull’ the eggs in from the side to the middle.
7. Repeat the pulling in several times.
8. It doesn’t take long, the idea behind this is you’ll have soft, lightly cooked fresh eggs. It’s hard to undercook an egg really, but very easy to overcook. 2 – 3 minutes cooking time is all you’ll need.
9. Add some salt and pepper to taste. Done!
