Looking for a change from classic fried eggs? This sweet-and-savory version is simple yet surprising. The eggs are gently cooked in a base of honey and chili oil, then the mozzarella melts gently and coats everything... When you taste it, everything comes together: the slight spiciness, the sweetness of the honey and the melt-in-the-mouth texture of the cheese. The green onions and sesame seeds add a fresh, slightly crunchy touch ;) This recipe is perfect for breakfast or brunch when you're in the mood for a change from classic scrambled eggs!

FAQ ❓

How can I customize this fried egg recipe?

You can add vegetables such as spinach or tomatoes, or replace the mozzarella with another cheese to suit your tastes.
It's best to prepare it fresh.
You can use chili-flavored olive oil or any other chili-infused oil, depending on your tolerance for spice. For this recipe, I recommend "Lao Gan Ma Chili" sauce, which goes perfectly with it. You'll find it in Asian grocery stores.
Eggs should be cooked until the whites are firm but the yolks are still slightly runny. I achieved this in 5 minutes, but I had the heat set to low to medium, so you may need to keep an eye on them!
You can enjoy them with toast or even a fruit salad! If you're looking for more brunch ideas, I've got plenty here!
