Oh, Chef John, you made my morning! I put butter on the toast but it wasn't necessary. Don't change a thing! Ooey, gooey, crunchy, spicy....... just perfect. I was going to do two eggs at once as I had a big piece of toast, but I wasn't sure I'd be able to manipulate the extra egg. No need though; plenty of yolk to cover the whole toast. (The last time I tried to manipulate my eggs, they accused me of emotional blackmail, so there's that!) Triple yummm!
Excellent! I added a bit of sliced ham and some sliced black olives, which added to the flavour nicely. Surprising, after having tasting a few "stray pieces" I didn't reach for the salt shaker I do so automatically. Which I shouldn't do.
I made this two days in a row and did not make any changes the first time, the second time I added a bit of smoked paprika, delicious! This would be a great quick supper. I love this and will make it again and again!
I used Gruyere cheese. Very easy and yummy!
I came upon this accidently and the title intrigued me. Wow. Such a simple recipe but oh so good. Thank you for creating this Ooey gooey crunchy wonderful treat!
Really good! Watch the video for the best advice.
A perfect combination of my favorite ingredients and quick to make.
The only change I made was add thin sliced mushrooms to the close to being done fried cheese. I would recomend shredding the cheese small for quicker melt. Short strokes instead of long strokes. Like Chef John says. Make this your own. I agree. I didn't count or set a timer. Just watched waited and flipped when I felt it was time. Make your eggs like you prefer them cooked. Only differnce really is you cook the cheese first instead of putting it on top of the cooked egg
This fit perfectly on a toasted buttered English muffin. Without the red pepper this breakfast would have been too bland for us. The cheese hardens quickly as soon as the egg is released from the pan resulting in a cheesy crunchy texture. I think I would have preferred crumbled bacon on top to just give it a little more complexity.
It turned out okay but not exciting. The cheese starts to harden quickly after removing it from the pan. Nothing very special about it.
