Eggs are super-versatile and can be whipped up into a variety of lip-smacking dishes. But we tend to the basics: curries, scrambled, boiled, or poached. But thanks to the internet, fresh recipes are coming to the fore, allowing foodies to try out new versions. If you are also bored of having regular eggs, then US-based food vlogger Matthew Lud has a wonderful solution for you. Not long ago, Lud dropped a video on Instagram offering a glimpse into a unique egg recipe, made with potato chips. Yes, you read that right. Designed to serve 2 people, Matthew Lud’s delicious recipe combines crunchy kettle-cooked potato chips with gooey melted cheese and perfectly cooked eggs. A drizzle of chilli oil and a sprinkle of fresh parsley bring everything together, creating a dish that is crispy, creamy and savoury all at once.Eggs and chips: Ingredients required1 tsp of avocado oil2–3 handfuls of kettle-cooked potato chips1/4–1/3 cup of shredded cheese2–3 eggsChili oilChopped parsleyEggs and chips: How to makeTo prepare the recipe, Matthew Lud first begins by heating avocado oil in a skillet over low-to-medium heat. He then adds a generous layer of kettle-cooked potato chips along with the shredded cheese. Once the cheese starts melting, he creates small wells in the mixture and carefully cracks the eggs into them. Next, the vlogger spoons chilli oil over the eggs and finishes with a sprinkling of chopped parsley for added flavour and freshness.After that, Matthew Lud covers the skillet and allows everything to cook until the egg whites are fully set. If required, the heat can be turned down to low while the pan remains covered to ensure the eggs cook gently without burning the chips or cheese. The end result is a comforting one-pan dish that combines crunchy chips, melty cheese and soft eggs, making for a surprisingly satisfying breakfast or brunch option. The post received multiple reactions from social media users, who clearly loved the unique preparation. ‘This is a yes,’ commented an excited user. ‘That’s my kinda breakfast’ admitted another. ‘Gonna try this with cool ranch,’ noted an individual. So far, the video has clocked over 4.8 million views.
