Name: Fried Eggs

Ingredients:

• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil or small pat of butter
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

• Crack the egg into a small bowl
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
• Carefully pour in the egg and reduce the heat to low.
• Cook, uncovered, for 1 minute.
• Then cover and cook until the whites are just set, 2 to 3 minutes.
• When the whites are set, flip the eggs.
  • For an over-easy egg, carefully flip the fried egg and cook until the whites are fully set, about 15 seconds.
  • For an over-medium egg, cook the egg longer on the second side, for 15 to 30 seconds.
  • For over-hard eggs, cook the eggs on the second side until they have firm yolks, for up to a minute.

Comments:
4/9/2025 - I used this to fry an egg for Gail and one for me. I cooked both together in the small skillet, and took mine our earlier for an over-easy.
10/20/2025 - I fried two eggs. The yolks of both broke, one when I broke it into the bowl and one in the pan when I flipped it.
