I love how eggs are so versatile. You can have them for breakfast, brunch, in a lunch salad or even dinner. Add cheese to the mix and you’ve got yourself a winner. My favorite thing about this meal, aside from it’s tasty goodness? It’s perfect for those of us who are counting carbs. This meal is super easy and is ready in about ten minutes, which means you can spend more time with your brunch/breakfast guests.
Easy meals are totally my thing, and this dish is no exception. How can you argue with flavored cheese, especially when it’s Cabot’s Tomato Basil Cheddar– loaded with basil and sun dried tomatoes? And it’s perfect for nibbling on while brunch is cooking.
Once your pan is good and hot, all you need to do is crack those eggs into a measuring cup and carefully slip them into the pan. At this point the hard work is over.
Sprinkle with salt & pepper and cook until the whites are set.
All you’ve got to do now is top the eggs with cheese & fresh basil and wait for the cheese to melt. Rough, I know.
