A fried egg is already a simple and delicious breakfast, but food social media loves to riff on the classics, like the viral pesto eggs, and a new iteration that creates a crispy, lacy cheese crust.
Food writer and recipe developer Grace Elkus shared her simple breakfast idea that’s heating up on TikTok and Instagram.
While she said the dish “barely needs a recipe” she shared the full instructions with “Good Morning America” below.
Elkus said he pulled inspiration from “I Dream of Dinner” cookbook author Ali Slagle’s potato, egg and cheese tacos.
