### These Spicy Honey Cheese Eggs Are Absolutely Delicious, You’ll Want to Make Them Again and Again
If you haven’t tried mozzarella that’s been melted in a skillet, you need to do so right away. It becomes wonderfully melty and stretchy, caramelizing in a way that perfectly envelops your sunny side up eggs in a cheesy layer. The mild spiciness of hot honey elevates it to another level. It’s everything I crave for breakfast.
I ended up preparing this in two different styles. The internet’s method: honey, then cheese, then egg. Then I tried it my way: cheese, followed by honey, then egg. They ultimately taste quite similar, but since I’m all about the #vibe aesthetics, I preferred how the hot honey eggs appeared with the cheese melted first. As Gen Alpha might say, cheese first dominates over honey first. Cheese first or honey first, the choice is yours.
#### Crunchy Cheese Eggs
I have adored crispy cheese eggs since 2015. Mike and I have been blogging for so long that retro trends are resurfacing. Who would have guessed that plaid shirts would be back in style? Not me. Anyway, cheese eggs are incredible: a crunchy, caramelized cheese crust over a flawlessly cooked egg? Protein on protein? Tell me more 😍
I love eggs, and discovering new ways to prepare them always makes me egg-cited. (Sorry, I had to) Puns aside, eggs are a fantastic source of protein, and when paired with stretchy, melty mozzarella and sweet yet spicy honey, these three components transform into something that far exceeds the sum of its parts.
#### What Exactly Are Spicy Honey Cheese Eggs?
Spicy honey cheese eggs resemble an over-easy egg resting on a bed of hot honey and crispy cheese.

#### How to Prepare Spicy Honey Cheese Eggs
1. **Honey.** Take a non-stick skillet. Over medium heat, drizzle in some hot honey.
2. **Cheese.** Add a generous portion of shredded mozzarella cheese.
3. **Eggs.** Place two eggs directly on the cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. **Cover.** Put a lid on the skillet and cook the eggs until the whites firm up and the cheese starts to brown and caramelize.
5. **Fold.** Use a spatula to detach the cheesy base and fold the eggs in half. If preferred, let it cook a little longer to achieve the yolk’s desired consistency.
6. **Enjoy.** Transfer from the skillet and savor your cheesy, sweet-and-spicy eggs right away.
#### Ingredients for Spicy Honey Cheese Eggs
– **Hot Honey:** Hot honey is currently trending, and I personally am enjoying the sweet-heat combination everywhere. Mike’s Hot Honey is the most recognized hot honey brand, but like all beloved items, there’s an extensive variety available.
– **Cheese:** Shredded mozzarella cheese works best here. Its mild flavor and melting ability allows the hot honey to stand out while caramelizing to a delightful crisp.
