Starting the day with a delicious and nutritious meal is always a good idea, and what could be simpler and more satisfying than a perfect fried egg? Fried eggs are a versatile staple that anyone can quickly master.
How to Make Fried Eggs
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. One at a time, break each egg into a small bowl, then slide it into the skillet; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
As they cook, spoon hot oil over the whites of the eggs so the top will set. When the outer edges turn opaque, lower the heat. Cover and let the lid trap the steam.
Gently cook the top or carefully pour spoonfuls of the hot oil over the yolks, and keep going until the egg is the doneness you desire.
Serve the Fried Eggs with a dash of hot sauce on top and a side of freshly cooked pasta a la Manteca ( any cooked pasta you enjoy, buttered) if you'd like!
