How To Cook Eggs In Skillet
For this recipe, timing is everything as you want to cook the egg whites until they are set while the egg yolks are still runny.
However, you want to keep the Parmesan cheese golden brown and not burned.
The secret is to cover the skillet with its lid, so the hot steam would help set the egg whites in a few short minutes, and the Parmesan cheese won’t get burn.
Remember to turn off the heat as the egg whites are almost set, as the remaining heat in the skillet will continue to cook the egg whites even when the heat source is turned off.

Say goodbye to the SNOOZE button and say hello to these new eggs in your life!

Ingredients
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon parsley, chopped, more for garnishing
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Parmesan cheese, cream, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.

- Crack two eggs into the skillet and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about two minutes. Cover the skillet with its lid to help cook the egg whites faster, being careful not to let the Parmesan cheese burn or turn dark brown.
- Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper, and garnish with chopped parsley. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. Serve the eggs with hot sauce, if desired.

Hi Scott, lol. Thanks for your sweet comment!
I just finished eating this! I added chopped green onions and overall it was fantastic! Eggs did need cooked a little longer than recipe stated but no complaints here!
Hi Melissa, great to know that you enjoyed these Parmesan eggs. Please try more recipes on my site: https://rasamalaysia.com/recipe-index-gallery/
This looks fantastic! Love those bright yellow yolks – they totally make me want to eat this dish right now! ?
Just made this for breakfast this morning, and Lordy it was delicious! It only took a bit over a minute after I added the eggs for them to be done, I peeked under the lid and they were done. Definitely need some bread to sop up all the savory goodness. I ised an 8 inch Teflon pan, which worked perfectly and the whole thing slid out easily, if you use a cast iron pan it’d better be well seasoned.
Another wonderful recipe, quick, easy, and delicious!
