Cooking an Over-Easy Egg With Ease
Frying eggs might seem like a simple task, but achieving a perfectly cooked egg can be a culinary delight. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you master this kitchen essential.
First, heat a skillet to a medium-high heat with about 2 teaspoons of butter, oil, or a combination of both. A non-stick skillet is recommended, but any skillet will do. The pan should be heated to a temperature that allows the eggs to slightly sizzle when added.
Next, crack the egg into a cup before adding it to the pan. This helps create a round egg and prevents shells from getting into the pan.
Once the egg is added to the heated skillet, cook it for two to three minutes. During this time, the sides of the egg will set, and the yolks will thicken. Loosening the edges of the cracked egg is a step in the frying process.
The cooking time for an egg can vary depending on the desired firmness of the yolk. For eggs over firm, follow step 5 and cook the egg for an additional two to three minutes, checking the firmness by lightly touching the yolk. If you prefer a softer yolk, cook the egg for an additional minute after flipping it.
If flipping an egg is difficult, basting the egg with the oil from the pan can be an alternative method.
For sunny side up eggs, skip steps 4 and 5 and remove the egg from the pan once the whites are white (no longer clear).
A perfectly fried egg is the result of the cooking process. Fresh eggs are best for frying due to their higher quality.
Once cooked, a fried egg is versatile and can be served with a potato hash or used in a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich.
It's worth noting that there are no specific artists or creators identified in the search results as having developed or published a recipe for a roasted egg.
So, next time you're in the kitchen, give these steps a try and enjoy a delicious, perfectly fried egg.
