Caprese Fried Eggs

Sweet summer tomatoes and basil are just begging to go into this feels-so-fancy breakfast!

Ingredients:

3/4 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella 

2 eggs

Cherry tomatoes or thinly sliced tomato 

Black pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves

Some lemon zest 

Balsamic glaze (or a nice substitute is 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar mixed with 2 tsps honey)

Parmesan (optional)

Heat a non-stick skillet to medium, spray with cooking oil then make a layer of shredded cheese. When it just starts to bubble crack the eggs on top. Add the tomatoes, black pepper and basil. If you like sunny side up eggs then you're pretty much good to go, but I prefer to put a cover on the pan for 2 minutes to cook the top of the yolks just a touch.

To serve, sprinkle with a little lemon zest and drizzle balsamic glaze.

You can also add a bit of parmesan 😋 and I would not be opposed to some hot sauce!
