Step 1

Cook ramen according to package directions, including adding the flavor packet.

Step 2

Add cheese and butter and stir until cheese has melted.

Step 3

Crack egg into a small bowl. Pull the noodles to the side, gently pour in the egg, and then ever-so-gently drape the noodles over the egg. Cover and let it sit for 4 minutes.

Step 4

Pour the whole thing into a large soup bowl. Sprinkle with scallions and fresh pepper, gently break the egg yolk so it melts into the broth, and eat it up. Feel much better.
