Step by Step

Let's Make Magic

1

Crush the Chips

Place Traditional Mitten Chips in a zip-lock bag and crush into coarse crumbs using a rolling pin. You want a mix of fine and chunky pieces for texture.

Don't over-crush — varied sizes create the best crunch
2

Heat the Pan

Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Let it get hot enough that a chip crumb sizzles when dropped in.

Medium heat prevents burning the chip coating
3

Coat & Fry

Crack eggs into the pan. Immediately sprinkle crushed chips generously on top of each egg white. Let cook until whites are set and chips are golden.

Press chips gently into the egg white for better adhesion
4

Serve

Slide onto plates, season with salt and pepper. Serve with sliced avocado and a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.

A squeeze of lime brightens everything up

Texture Mix

Leave some larger chip pieces for extra satisfying crunch alongside the creamy yolk.

Runny Yolk

Keep the yolk runny — it acts as a sauce that coats the crunchy chip crust perfectly.
