There are many ways to fry an egg. I personally want my eggs on the more “cooked through” side but I don’t want to risk breaking the yolk by flipping them over in the pan. I use my sunny side up method but steam them without flipping if I want on the more done side. The important thing with fried eggs is giving each one enough pan real estate to fry properly and not run into one giant mass. If you like texture, add coarse salt instead of kosher.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 large eggs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Yield: 2 servings
Instructions
Fry the eggs: Use a kitchen towel to wipe clean the skillet, put the heat on medium and add the butter. When it begins to brown, crack 2 eggs, a distance apart, into the butter. Lower the heat, season them lightly with salt and cook 2-3 minutes or longer, if desired.
More cooked: If you want your egg yolks cooked through, add a splash of water to the pans, cover and cook for 1-2 additional minutes. This steams the eggs. Alternatively, you can run the pans under the broiler for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
