Can I use other cheese?

Yes, semi-hard or even soft cheeses (mozzarella, feta) work but won't give a crispy crust. For crunch, stick with hard cheeses.

How many eggs per serving?

110 g of eggs equals about 2 large eggs. For a heartier portion, use 3 eggs.

How to make fried eggs instead of scrambled?

Simply don't stir the eggs after pouring them in. Fry until the whites set, leaving yolks runny.

Why do eggs stick to the pan?

The pan may not be hot enough or there's not enough fat. Use a non-stick pan and preheat well.

SIMPLE PROCESS

Step by step recipe

The trick is frying the cheese until golden — it adds incredible texture and flavor. You can scramble the eggs with a fork or leave them whole for fried eggs — your choice. Don't overcook the eggs; keep them creamy and soft. Follow the steps for a breakfast that feels like a celebration.

Step 1

Prep the Cheese

Cut hard cheese into ½-inch cubes or ¼-inch thick slices. Even pieces ensure even browning.

Step 2

Fry the Cheese

Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter (5 g). Place cheese in a single layer and fry until golden on one side (2-3 minutes). Flip and fry the other side.

Step 3

Add Eggs

Crack the eggs directly over the cheese in the pan. Use a fork or spatula to scramble (for scrambled) or leave whole (for fried eggs).

Step 4

Cook the Eggs

Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring for scrambled until desired doneness. For fried, cook until whites set (4-5 minutes).

Step 5

Season and Herb

1 minute before done, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and chopped herbs. Stir (for scrambled) or leave on top.

Step 6

Serve

Transfer to a plate, let rest 1 minute. Serve hot with toast or bread. Enjoy!

CHEF'S TIP

Cheese is the Star

Choose a good melting cheese like Gouda, Cheddar, or a Dutch-type. Cut into cubes or slices — more surface area means a crispier crust. Fry in butter until golden on both sides.

Perfect Egg Texture

For scrambled eggs, whisk the eggs with a fork directly in the pan after pouring them over the cheese. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly — eggs stay creamy, not dry.

Herbs at the End

Add fresh herbs (dill, parsley, chives) only at the very end, just before serving. This keeps them bright and aromatic.

Serve Immediately

Scrambled eggs taste best hot, straight from the pan. The perfect texture lasts only minutes, so don't let it cool.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Add your taste

With Tomatoes and Basil Add halved cherry tomatoes or diced tomatoes with the eggs — a fresh Italian-style twist.
With Bacon Fry 3-4 strips of bacon until crispy, then fry the cheese and eggs in the rendered fat — ultra-flavorful and hearty.
Sweet Version Skip pepper and salt, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla sugar — transforms into a sweet dessert omelet.
No-Butter Diet Version Fry cheese in a non-stick pan without oil, cook eggs on low heat. Saves about 30-40 calories.

HOW TO STORE

How to Store Scrambled Eggs with Cheese

Best eaten fresh. Leftovers can be cooled and stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Reheat in a dry skillet or microwave for 20-30 seconds. Freezing not recommended — texture will suffer.
