Ingredients
  

The Base
  • 1 lb French fries frozen or homemade, cooked until crispy
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
  • 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese freshly grated
The Toppings
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil for frying
  • 4 large eggs
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley roughly chopped
  • 0.5 tsp paprika sweet or smoked
  • to taste sea salt and black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula
  • Serving bowls

Method
 

  1. Bake or fry the french fries according to package instructions or your recipe until they are highly crispy and golden brown.
  2. Transfer the hot fries to serving bowls or a heat-proof platter. Immediately sprinkle the grated cheddar and mozzarella evenly over the top so it begins to melt. (Optional: pop under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until bubbly).
  3. While the cheese is melting, heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook gently until the whites are set but yolks are still runny (3-4 minutes). Season with a pinch of salt.
  4. Carefully slide the fried eggs on top of the cheesy fries.
  5. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley, paprika, and a crack of black pepper. Serve immediately and break the yolks over the fries.

Notes

For best results, grate your own cheese from a block rather than using pre-shredded cheese, as it melts much smoother. Add hot sauce or crispy bacon bits for extra flavor.
