Frico Taco
Frico = cheese cooked crispy. The cheese becomes crispy when cooked and serves as a delicious taco style vessel for the over-easy fried eggs. This has become a quick and easy breakfast favorite in our home; we often share our love of it with our visiting house guests. Every friend or family member we have served this to has gone home to make it themselves as a favorite start.
Ingredients
2 large eggs
¼ C. shredded parmesan cheese
¼ C. shredded gouda or mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
In a cold, small frying pan add shredded cheeses and pat down to distribute evenly; place pan on the stove top and turn burner to medium/medium high heat. Cook 2 minutes, 30 seconds or until edges of cheese just start to lightly brown.
Crack eggs onto cheese frico; lightly season with salt and pepper and cover. Turn down heat just below medium heat. Cook 2 minutes 30 seconds or until egg whites are very lightly cooked over yolks. (The egg will continue to cook during cooling time.)
Using a spatula, fold over in half like a taco; place on a cooling rack to cool 2 minutes 30 seconds. Wrap one end with a paper towel and eat hot.
Servings: 1
TIP
Additional ingredients such as cooked bacon or sausage crumbles, chopped tomatoes or green onion may be added to taco before folding in half as an option.
