Report
There’s an art to making the perfect fried egg, so if you want to make a breakfast recipe that even your picky eater who usually shuns eggs will love, this Crispy Fried Egg recipe is for you!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, vegetable oil or avocado oil
- 1 large egg
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Heat a sauté pan over medium high heat.
- Add the oil and heat for 15 seconds until the oil is shimmering, then gently crack in the egg.
- Cook the egg for 2 minutes or until it turns crispy and golden around the edges. For a fully cooked yolk, cover the pan, turn the heat to low and cook an additional minute or two.
Notes
- Use Butter for Extra Flavor – If you prefer a richer taste, use butter, but watch closely to prevent burning!
- Don’t Move the Egg for Ultra-Crispy Edges – Once your egg hits the pan, let it cook undisturbed. This allows the edges to develop a perfect golden-brown crunch while keeping the yolk soft and runny.
- Spoon Hot Oil Over the Egg for Even Cooking – For the best crispy fried egg, tilt the pan slightly and spoon the hot oil over the whites. This helps them cook through while maintaining crispy, lacy edges.
- Add Toppings for Flavor Variations: Take your crispy fried egg to the next level with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, a drizzle of fresh homemade basil pesto, or add some heat with sriracha or chili crisp.
