Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Eggs
Mozzarella cheese
Hot honey
Butter or olive oil
Salt
Black pepper
Red pepper flakes optional
Fresh basil or parsley
Toast for serving optional

Directions

I start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding butter or olive oil.

I crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to my preferred doneness.

While the eggs cook, I sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top so it melts gently from the heat.

I season the eggs with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if I want extra spice.

Once the cheese is melted and the eggs are ready, I drizzle hot honey generously over the top.

I finish with fresh basil or parsley and serve immediately, often with toasted bread on the side.

Variations

I sometimes add sliced avocado or tomatoes for extra freshness.

I also like using burrata or provolone instead of mozzarella for a different cheesy flavor.

For a heartier meal, I serve the eggs over roasted potatoes or crispy toast.

If I want even more heat, I add extra chili flakes or spicy sauce.

Storage/Reheating

I prefer serving these eggs fresh for the best texture and flavor.

If needed, I store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.

To reheat, I warm them gently in a skillet or microwave until heated through.
