Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 large garlic clove; 1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne; 1/4 cup olive oil, divided; 8 large eggs; 1 1/4 cups coarsely grated smoked mozzarella (6 ounces); Accompaniment: crusty bread

This style of frying eggs results in crisp, crackly whites and beautiful, barely set yolks. The spicy garlic oil and smoked mozzarella make this dish an unusual but delicious brunch or light dinner.
