- Move eggs around gently with a spatula so they cook gently and evenly. Once done remove from heat and set aside.

- Broil for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Notes
*If your chip sinks when you add them to the oil that means the oil is NOT hot enough. Chips should immediately start frying and remain on the surface of the oil.
**Additionally, test one chip for doneness. You want them crunchy and not tough in the center.
