While the cheese begins to melt, take the 2 hard-boiled eggs and carefully cut each one in half lengthwise.

Once the mozzarella starts to melt and bubble, place each egg half, cut side down, onto a pile of the melting mozzarella in the pan. The mozzarella should begin to bubble and crisp around the edges of the egg.

Allow the mozzarella to cook around the eggs until it becomes crispy and golden to dark brown. This may take 3-5 minutes, depending on your stove and pan. The cheese should turn a deep reddish-brown and become very crispy.
