  2. 2
    Gently crack the eggs into the pan.
    Stove
    💡Crack the egg into hot but not smoking fat: in fat that's too hot, the white burns at the edges before it sets near the yolk.
  3. 3
    Season with salt and black pepper and fry 3–4 minutes, until the white sets.
    Stove
  4. 4
    Place a slice of cheese on each egg and cover for half a minute, until the cheese melts.
