Smoky Olive Oil Fried Eggs














1 Large Clove Garlic
1/2 Teaspoon Hot Red Pepper, dried flakes
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
8 Large Eggs
1 1/4 Cups Mozzarella Cheese, coarsely chopped, smoked (6oz)

Preheat Broiler. Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then stir together with red-pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons oil in a small bowl.

Break eggs into a bowl. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a flameproof 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Pour in eggs and cook, undisturbed, until whites begin to set, then cook, lifting up edge of cooked whites with a spatula to let as much raw egg white as much raw egg white as possible flow
underneath, 2 minutes (top and yolks will still be very loose). Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle cheese over eggs. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until cheese is melted and bubbling and yolks are barely set, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve drizzled with garlic oil.
