Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large fresh eggs
  • 100g fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey (honey infused with chili)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh basil leaves or chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Gather 4 large fresh eggs, 100 grams of fresh mozzarella cheese sliced evenly, and 2 tablespoons of hot honey. Have salt, pepper, and any optional fresh herbs prepared before cooking.
  2. Cook the eggs gently: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Crack in the eggs and cook them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness, ensuring the yolks remain creamy and rich without overcooking.
  3. Add the mozzarella: When the eggs start to set but the yolks are still runny, layer the slices of mozzarella cheese on top. Allow the cheese to melt slightly from the residual heat of the eggs.
  4. Drizzle hot honey: After the mozzarella has melted, drizzle 2 tablespoons of hot honey generously over the eggs and cheese, letting the sweet and spicy flavors meld together.
  5. Season and garnish: Season the dish with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Add fresh basil leaves or chopped chives if desired, providing a vibrant and aromatic finish before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh mozzarella for the best creamy texture and melting quality.
  • Cook eggs on medium-low heat to avoid rubberiness and ensure perfect melting of the cheese.
  • Drizzle hot honey just before serving to maintain its vibrant flavor and sticky texture.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow even cooking and cheese melting.
  • Try different honey varieties like wildflower or orange blossom to add unique flavor layers.
