  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make a breakfast of eggs and cheese in a frying pan? Prepare the products. This recipe is designed for one serving. You will have to cook for several people in turn. Although it's not long at all, especially if all the ingredients are prepared in advance. Milk is suitable for any fat content. Starch is also any, take corn twice as much as potato.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Carefully divide the egg into the white and yolk. Try to keep the yolk intact and not get into the protein — this will make the dish both tastier and more aesthetic. Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Whisk the protein lightly with a fork and pour the milk into it. Next, take a whisk and, without stopping whipping, pour in the starch. Stir until smooth, you should get something like an omelet mixture.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Or on a shallow one, it's not critical.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Heat a frying pan over low heat. It is more convenient if it is small in size, per serving, and with a non-stick coating. Drop a small amount of vegetable oil, smear it with a brush — you don't need a lot of oil for this dish. Pour the egg-milk mixture into the pan. Add salt to taste.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    When the pancake is completely dry on top and slightly browned on the bottom, pour grated cheese on it. Immediately wrap the edges of the pancake on four sides, forming an envelope from it. Pour the yolk into the center. Fry the dish for a few more minutes on low heat. The cheese should completely melt, and the yolk should only grab a little, but remain liquid inside. You can even cover the pan with a lid. But make sure that the yolk does not harden at the same time.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Remove the finished dish from the pan and immediately serve it to the table — this breakfast is good hot. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper on top. Bon appetit!

How do I know if an egg is fresh? Break it into a separate container. First of all, there should be no unpleasant smell. The protein of fresh eggs will be transparent and clean. The yolk should not spread and will be shiny, convex, homogeneous.

Any cheese is suitable for this dish — hard, semi-hard, soft, like mozzarella. The main thing is that it is delicious, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well.
