Ingredients
● 2 large eggs
● 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
● 1⁄2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
● 1 tbsp hot honey (or to taste)

1. Heat the oil: In a small nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until
shimmering.
2. Fry the eggs: Crack in the eggs and cook until whites are set, edges are deeply golden,
and yolks are still soft (about 2 minutes).
3. Plate: Spread a generous spoonful of ricotta on a plate or toast.
4. Top: Place the eggs over the ricotta and drizzle with hot honey.
5. Season & Serve: Sprinkle with flaky salt, pepper, and optional garnishes. Serve

Chef’s Note
For extra crisp edges, tilt the pan slightly and spoon hot oil over the egg whites as they fry.
