    Ingredients for 5-Min Spicy Crispy Cheese Eggs
  • Make the cheese base: Add the grated cheese to a non-stick pan and spread it into a circle, about 6 inches wide. Keep the heat on low and let it melt and crisp up for 30 to 60 seconds.

  • Add chili oil: Drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of chili crisp oil around the cheese. Let it cook for another 30 to 60 seconds, until the cheese is bubbling and starting to turn golden.

  • Add the eggs: Crack 2 eggs on top of the cheese. You can place them side by side or slightly apart. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still soft. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Just before they reach your desired doneness, sprinkle finely chopped chives on top and cook for another 5 to 10 seconds to finish.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick pan: Prevents the cheese from sticking and helps it crisp up evenly.
  • Cook on low heat: Allows the cheese to melt slowly without burning.
  • Watch the egg yolks: Cook for 2–3 minutes if you like runny yolks, or 4–5 minutes for firmer ones.
