Indulge in the ultimate breakfast delight with this Viral Fried Egg Taco topped with Crispy Cheddar Cheese. A delicious combination of flavors and textures that will have you craving more!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crispy Cheddar Cheese:

  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese

For the Fried Egg Taco:

  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 small tortilla
  • 2 tablespoons smashed avocado
  • 2 tablespoons microgreens for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crispy Cheddar Cheese: Heat a small fry pan over medium heat. Add butter, melt it, then sprinkle cheddar cheese around the perimeter of the pan. Cook uncovered for 1 minute until crispy.
  2. Prepare the Fried Egg Taco: Crack the egg into a bowl, separate the egg yolk, and pour the egg white into the pan. Cook until almost set, then add the yolk. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook until the cheese is crispy and the egg is cooked.
  3. Assemble the Taco: Warm the tortilla, spread smashed avocado on it, place the crispy cheese fried egg on top, and garnish with microgreens.

Notes

  • Cheese Substitutions: Parmesan, feta, or any hard cheese can be used.
  • Best Tortilla: Low-carb tortillas work well, but corn or flour tortillas can be used.
  • Sunny-Side-Up Egg Hack: Separating egg white and yolk ensures a perfect runny yolk.
  • Serving Tips: Customize with your favorite toppings.
