Ingredients
- Eggs
- Cheddar cheese, shredded
- Olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)
- For the Chilli Oil:
- Olive oil
- Red chili flakes
- Garlic, minced
- Soy sauce (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For garnish: Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley)
Instructions
- Start by making the chili oil. Heat olive oil in a small pan over low-medium heat. Add the red chili flakes and minced garlic. Let the oil infuse for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Optionally, add a splash of soy sauce for depth of flavor. Set aside to cool.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Crack the eggs into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges of the eggs turn crispy. For a runnier yolk, cook the eggs for less time; for firmer yolks, cook longer.
- Once the eggs are crispy, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs while still in the pan, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Carefully remove the eggs from the pan and place them on a plate.
- Drizzle the prepared chili oil over the crispy eggs, ensuring the garlic and chili flakes are evenly distributed.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy your crispy cheese chilli oil eggs!
Notes
- You can adjust the spice level of the chili oil by adding more or fewer chili flakes to suit your taste.
- If you prefer, you can use a different type of cheese such as mozzarella or Parmesan for a different flavor profile.
- Serve with a side of crusty bread to dip into the runny yolk and spicy oil.
- The chili oil can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
