Grated Parmesan becomes irresistibly crisp and lacy when added to a hot skillet, taking ordinary fried eggs to new heights.

Ingredients

1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
2 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups baby bitter greens, such as kale, amaranth, dandelion, or mizuna
1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium until a shred of cheese dropped in begins to sizzle. Spread 1/4 cup cheese in an even layer over bottom of skillet. Heat without disturbing until cheese begins to bubble, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Crack 1 egg directly on top of cheese. Cook until edges are just set, about 2 minutes. Cover and continue cooking until white is set but yolk is still runny, about 1 minute, 30 seconds more. Season with salt and pepper. Run a spatula around edge of egg and cheese to loosen. Transfer to a plate with spatula. Repeat with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and egg.
2. Top eggs with greens. Squeeze lemon over top and drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper and serve.

Just made this, delicious and easy, just as the video said! I used fresh spinach and one of my garden fresh tomatoes and a oven warmed fresh onion croissant from a local german bakery (Haegele's Bakery), they only make them on Saturday, and a glass of my Silver Buckle Red Blend delicious wine!

  I just made this. The taste was delicious, however, the cheese popped all over the stove & made such a mess. I covered it according to instructions but by then it was too late.

Made this tonight for dinner. Easy and delicious. Served with crusty bread, it was a hit. Would definitely make it again.
