Perfect fried eggs can be yours every time with an unexpected method! So break out the frying pan and the eggs and let’s make breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • A generous grinding of black pepper
  • A teaspoon or so of your favorite dried or fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour oil into a cool frying pan and swirl it around until the bottom is coated.
  2. Crack the eggs carefully into the pan, keeping the yolks intact.
  3. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the eggs, along any toppings if you are using those.
  4. Cover the pan and turn the heat on to medium low. Cook for 6 minutes with no peeking! This will produce eggs with creamy runny yolks – leave them on for another minute or two if you like them more well done.
  5. Run a knife between the eggs to separate them, slide them out of the pan onto plates and serve at once.

Notes

    • Eggs: We usually go for extra large, but any size egg will work.

    • Oil: We like canola oil because it doesn’t add any extra taste to the eggs (olive oil can do this) but you can use any kind of vegetable oil that you have on hand.

    • Extras: I like to sprinkle a little dried oregano on my eggs along with some salt and pepper, but that’s just me!
