  • In a nonstick pan set over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, gently crack the eggs into the pan, taking care not to break the yolks unless desired. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • With care, flip each egg over. Place a slice of cheese on top of each egg and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your preferred level of doneness. After cooking, carefully lift one egg and place it on top of another egg in the pan, forming a stack. Then, remove the stacked eggs from the pan and set aside.
