Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 4 fresh eggs (preferably farm-fresh for vibrant yolks)
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey (spicy-infused honey)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh herbs such as basil or chives, chopped (to garnish)
  • Pinch of chili flakes (for extra heat)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather 4 fresh eggs, slice 4 oz fresh mozzarella into thin rounds, and have 2 tablespoons of hot honey ready to drizzle. If using fresh herbs or other variations, prepare them now.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter until it sizzles lightly, ensuring the eggs cook evenly without sticking or burning.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Crack the eggs gently into the skillet, keeping the yolks whole. Lightly season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny or to your preferred doneness.
  4. Add Mozzarella: During the last minute of cooking, place the mozzarella slices on top of the eggs, allowing them to soften and melt slightly without losing their shape.
  5. Drizzle with Hot Honey: Remove the pan from heat and generously drizzle 2 tablespoons of hot honey over the eggs and melted cheese to create the perfect sweet and spicy balance.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Finish with freshly chopped basil or chives and, if desired, a pinch of chili flakes. Serve immediately while warm and melty for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for better texture and flavor.
  • Cook on medium to low heat to avoid overcooking the yolks.
  • Select good-quality hot honey that balances heat and sweetness.
  • Let the mozzarella soften gently to avoid rubbery texture.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of creamy cheese and runny yolks.
