1
Fry the Eggs
In a non-stick skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully crack each egg into the skillet, ensuring they don't overlap. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.

2
Grate the Cheese
While the eggs are frying, use a microplane or grater to finely grate 30 grams of Pecorino Romano cheese. Set aside.
3
Prepare the Chili Oil
Measure out 1 tablespoon of chili oil and set it aside for drizzling over the finished dish.

4
Grill the Bread
In a separate skillet or on a grill, toast 4 slices of your preferred bread until golden brown on both sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side over medium heat.

5
Plate the Eggs
Once the eggs are cooked, carefully transfer them to a plate. Top each egg with a sprinkle of grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
6
Add Chili Oil
Drizzle the chili oil over the eggs to enhance the flavor.
7
Serve with Grilled Bread
Serve the fried eggs alongside the grilled bread for dipping. Enjoy your Olive Oil Eggs!
