Method
 

Dads Easy Cheesy Eggs with Chili Butter. Made Stepwise
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the extra virgin olive oil and salted butter. Once the butter melts, add the chopped garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the chili flakes and paprika, letting the mixture simmer for another minute. Remove from heat and set aside, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  2. In a mixing bowl, crack the large eggs and season with sea salt and black pepper. Using a whisk or fork, beat the eggs until well combined, ensuring the yolks and whites are fully mixed for a fluffy texture.
  3. In the same non-stick skillet used for the chili butter, pour in the whisked eggs over medium-low heat. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds. Then, gently stir with a spatula, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the bottom of the pan.
  4. When the eggs are still slightly runny but almost cooked through, sprinkle the finely shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs. Continue to cook for another minute, stirring gently, until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked.
  5. While the eggs are cooking, toast the sourdough or whole grain bread until golden brown. This will add a delightful crunch to your dish.
  6. To serve, place the toasted bread on plates. Spoon the cheesy eggs generously over the toast. Drizzle the prepared chili butter on top, and finish with the lightly mashed avocado. Garnish with fresh herbs for a burst of flavor and color.

Notes

  • Keep the heat low to avoid overcooking the eggs.
  • Watch the garlic closely to prevent burning.
