Ingredients
- 250 grams (8.8 ounces) bucatini pasta
- 2 free-range eggs
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 60 grams (4 tablespoons) sheep butter or plain butter
- 115 grams (¼ pound) grated Mizithra cheese
- freshly ground pepper
- sea salt
Instructions
- Boil pasta in salted water according to package instructions and then drain.
- Heat oil and butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Add the eggs when the butter has melted and is sizzling.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes depending on how crisp you want the edges to be. Baste the egg with some of the oil (the yolk needs to be runny so don't overdo it) and season it with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Remove the fried eggs carefully with a spatula and set aside on a plate.
- Toss in the pasta and stir. Raise the temperature to high.
- Add ⅔ of the grated Mizithra cheese and cook for 2-3 minutes stirring with a wooden spoon.
- Serve the pasta in two bowls. Season with plenty of freshly ground pepper on top. Add one egg on top in each pasta bowl. Serve with the remaining Mizithra cheese on top.
