Description

Hot Honey Mozzarella Eggs combine sweet and spicy honey with gooey melted mozzarella and tender eggs for a quick, flavorful breakfast or brunch. This simple stovetop recipe creates a rich, melty, and slightly spicy dish that’s perfect for those who love a sweet heat twist to classic cheesy eggs.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp hot honey (approx. 15ml / 0.5 fl oz)
  • 50g mozzarella (approx. 1.75 oz), grated
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt & pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat the base: Warm a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the hot honey and let it bubble slightly to release its sweetness and spice.
  2. Add the cheese: Sprinkle the grated mozzarella evenly over the bubbling hot honey in the pan. Allow it to melt slowly, forming a golden, gooey layer that will create a rich base for the eggs.
  3. Crack in the eggs: Gently crack the eggs directly over the melted cheese layer. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the pan with a lid and cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks remain cooked to your preferred consistency.
  4. Fold and finish: Once the eggs are cooked, remove the lid. Using a spatula, carefully fold the cheesy eggs over, similar to folding an omelette, combining the melted mozzarella and honey with the eggs.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Transfer the hot honey mozzarella eggs to a plate immediately. Serve warm for the best melty texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of hot honey based on your preferred spice level and sweetness.
  • Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier melt, or low-moisture mozzarella for a firmer texture.
  • Covering the pan helps cook the eggs evenly without flipping and keeps the cheese melty.
  • This recipe works well with any type of honey infused with chili or spice for that signature hot honey flavor.
