- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
