Method
- Heat a pan on high for 2 minutes. Add the cream and chili crisp, turn the heat to medium, and simmer for 1 minute.
- Crack in the eggs, cover, and cook 2-3 minutes, until the whites are set.
- Top with chives and a little more chili crisp.
What we changed and why
- Some chili crisps contain soy sauce (wheat).
Items marked "check" need a quick label read: corn hides in starches, dextrose, and vinegar.
