Notes
Cook the eggs until firm before cutting them in half. Use a nonstick skillet and, if needed, grease it with a drizzle of olive oil or a little butter to prevent sticking. The seasonings can be adjusted to taste, and the mozzarella should be added in enough quantity to cover the eggs well. Cover the skillet over low heat to melt the cheese without drying out the eggs.
