Smothered Fried Eggs

I finally perfected making fried eggs the other night with minimal yolk breakage and the idea to smother them with cheese.

You’ll need:

Eggs
Butter
Cheese (Slices of your favorite kind)

How to:

Start by heating up your skillet on medium heat. Melt some butter in the pan to prevent sticking and start cracking your eggs into the pan. Let them cook for a few minutes until the whites appear relatively solid and not transparent. When it reaches that point, flip them and let them continue to cook for another few minutes. After you flip them, lay a slice of cheese on top to melt. When the cheese has melted and effectively covers majority of the egg, it’s ready to be on a plate and eaten.

I tried this with Pepperjack cheese slices and it was amazing.

Western Omelet

If you’re like me, you haven’t quite mastered the art of omelet flipping. It always ends up being a mess of scrambled eggs and various ingredients which isn’t all that bad either. This omelet type is great for anytime and doesn’t have to be perfect.

You need:
1 lb. ground beef or turkey (any meat is good in it)
3 Eggs
Minced garlic (garlic powder also works)
Chopped onion (minced onion in the spice aisle is good too)
Cheese (preferably shredded. Use your favorite)
Any other ingredients you want like bell peppers are optional.

Start off by browning the meat and cooking it through. While you wait for it, scramble your 3 eggs so they’ll be ready to go. Once that’s done, you’ll want to drain the meat so the grease doesn’t get in the eggs. Return the meat to the pan and add your garlic and onion or seasonings. Mix that up a bit and add your scrambled eggs on top of the meat. Stir it around so it doesn’t stick and burn. Once the eggs are done, toss the cheese on top to melt. You can mix it in and use as much cheese as you like. Take it off the heat, serve it up, and you have a tasty omelet you can have for any time.

You never have to use actual garlic and onion if you don’t have access to getting it or like me, once you have it, rarely use it. Minced onion or onion powder and garlic powder can be your best friend in a pinch.
