Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large fresh eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded or torn mozzarella cheese (fresh or low-moisture)
  • 1–2 tablespoons hot honey (chili-infused honey)
  • 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or chives for garnish
  • Sautéed vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms) for a veggie boost
  • Crushed red pepper flakes to increase spice level
  • Bacon or turkey sausage as additional protein side

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs: Crack two large eggs into a bowl and whisk gently with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper until combined but not overly frothy.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of butter or olive oil, coating the surface evenly to prevent sticking and help the eggs develop a nice golden edge.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Let them settle and cook softly for about one minute before gently stirring to create soft curds. Reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain creaminess and avoid overcooking.
  4. Add Mozzarella: When the eggs begin to set but still look slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded or torn mozzarella evenly on top. Cover the skillet briefly to let the cheese melt gently into the eggs.
  5. Drizzle with Hot Honey: Transfer the eggs carefully to a serving plate. Generously drizzle the hot honey over the top to balance the creamy cheese with its sweet and spicy flavor.

Notes

  • Cook eggs on low to medium-low heat to keep them soft and prevent dryness.
  • Use fresh mozzarella for the best melt and creamy texture.
  • Choose a high-quality chili-infused honey to achieve the perfect balance of sweetness and heat.
  • Stir the eggs gently and minimally to maintain a fluffy texture.
  • Add mozzarella just before the eggs finish cooking to avoid watery eggs.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and sprinkle cracked black pepper or chili flakes for added flavor and visual appeal.
