At our home, breakfast for dinner is a beloved tradition. There’s nothing faster than cooking up a few eggs, toasting some bread, and enjoying a meal in about 15 minutes. But what if you’re not quite sure how to fry an egg? It may seem straightforward, but even a slight misstep—like the wrong pan temperature or insufficient grease—can lead to a disappointing, overcooked egg. Let’s get started!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 or 2 eggs per person
- Salt to taste
Cooking Instructions:
- Begin by placing the butter in a medium-sized non-stick or cast iron skillet. Heat it over medium heat.
- Once the butter begins to foam, carefully add the egg. If you’re concerned about breaking the yolk, crack the egg into a small cup first, then pour it gently into the pan.
- Allow the egg to cook until the clear parts turn white and bubbly, which should take around 3 minutes.
- Using a spatula, gently slide it under the egg and flip it over quickly. Cook for 1 minute for a runny yolk, or 2 to 3 minutes if you prefer it less runny.
- Transfer the egg to a plate.
Pair your fried egg with buttered toast or, my personal favorite, buttered broiled baguette slices! This dish also goes wonderfully with bacon or sausage, making it perfect for breakfast or a quick weeknight dinner. Kids love it too!
