Best Eggs Ever Recipe
Ingredients:
- 5–6 large eggs
- 2–3 tbsp butter (for greasing the pan)
- 4–6 slices of lunch meat (such as turkey, ham, or chicken)
- 6–8 slices of pepperoni (or any preferred meat)
- 2–3 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or any cheese you like)
- 1–2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
- ½ cup shredded cheese (for topping)
Instructions:
-
Prep the Pan: Begin by heating a skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is warm, add 2–3 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan. The butter will give your eggs a rich, silky texture and help prevent them from sticking.
-
Crack the Eggs: Crack 5–6 eggs into the pan, being careful not to break the yolks unless you prefer scrambled eggs. For scrambled, simply beat the eggs gently in the pan.
-
Layer with Meats & Cheese: Immediately after adding the eggs, layer your lunch meat (like ham, turkey, or chicken slices) on top of the eggs. Then, add the pepperoni slices to the mix. The combination of these meats will create an irresistible savory flavor profile.
-
Press Ingredients: Gently press the meats and eggs with a spatula to ensure everything melds together. This will allow the meats to cook slightly and meld with the egg whites.
-
Season with Pepper: Sprinkle a generous amount of black pepper over the top. If you like it spicier, you can also add a little paprika, chili flakes, or your favorite seasoning blend.
-
Add Sliced Cheese: Now, add 2–3 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or any of your favorites) over the mixture. The cheese will melt beautifully over the eggs and create a gooey, creamy texture.
-
Top with Shredded Cheese: As a final touch, sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheese over the eggs. Cover the pan with a lid to let the cheese melt evenly and give the eggs a soft, fluffy texture.
-
Finish Cooking: Allow the eggs to cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs reach your desired doneness. You can cook them longer for firmer yolks or leave them softer for a runny consistency.
-
Serve & Enjoy: Once everything is cooked to perfection, slide the eggs onto a plate, and enjoy the indulgent, cheesy, meaty masterpiece you’ve just made!
Tips:
- Make It Spicy: Add jalapeños or a spicy sauce like Sriracha for a fiery twist.
- Vegetarian Option: Replace the meats with sautéed veggies like mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers for a veggie-packed version.
