Fried Boiled Eggs Recipe
Description
This recipe calls for hard-boiled eggs that have been boiled fully for about 12 minutes to ensure firm yolks. The eggs are sliced lengthwise and then fried gently in butter over medium heat until both cut sides form a golden crust. The frying adds a contrast of texture between the crispy exterior and the tender interior of the egg whites and yolks.
Seasoned simply with a pinch of salt and pepper, these fried boiled eggs are easy to prepare and can be served warm or at room temperature. They work well as part of breakfast, in salads, or as a quick protein snack.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for a few days and reheated gently in the microwave at reduced power or eaten cold. Freezing is not recommended, as it tends to alter the egg texture negatively.
Ingredients
- 2 egg halved lengthwise, hard-boiled
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Place the butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Heat it over medium heat until melted.
- Add the egg halves. Fry them until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. If the butter browns too much, reduce the heat to medium-low and keep cooking.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper and serve.
Notes
- Use fully hard-boiled eggs with firm yolks by boiling for about 12 minutes before frying.
- Leftover fried boiled eggs keep 3-4 days refrigerated; reheat gently at 50% microwave power or enjoy cold.
- Avoid freezing leftovers to prevent dry, rubbery texture from thawing.
