Fried Egg
Description
There is nothing quite like a perfectly fried egg to start the day. This simple yet satisfying dish features a creamy, rich yolk that serves as a natural sauce, paired with a delicately set white that offers a gentle contrast in texture. The key to success lies in controlling the heat to ensure the egg cooks evenly without becoming rubbery or burnt. Whether served atop toast, alongside hash browns, or as part of a hearty brunch spread, this versatile protein brings comfort and flavor to any meal. It is an essential skill for any home cook, offering a quick, nutritious, and delicious option that pairs beautifully with almost any savory accompaniment.Ingredients
Directions
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
-
Add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
-
Crack the egg gently into a small bowl first, then slide it carefully into the center of the skillet.
-
Cook undisturbed until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny, about 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Optionally, spoon hot oil over the yolk to cook the top slightly, or flip gently for over-easy style.
-
Remove from heat and slide onto a plate immediately.
