How to Perfectly Fry an Egg

Get Pregnant Fast

Breakfast for dinner is a beloved tradition in my home. It’s hard to beat the speed of cooking up a few eggs, toasting some bread, and sitting down to a satisfying meal in just 15 minutes. But what if you’re unsure about how to fry an egg? It sounds easy enough, yet even the slightest misstep—like the pan being too hot or not enough grease—can lead to a disappointing plate of overcooked egg. Fear not! Here’s how to master the art of frying an egg.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 or 2 eggs per person
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Start by placing the butter in a medium-sized non-stick or cast iron skillet and heat it over medium heat. Once the butter starts to foam, it’s time to add the egg. If you’re worried about breaking the yolk, crack the egg into a small cup before pouring it into the pan.
2. Allow the egg to cook until the clear portions turn white and bubbly, which should take about 3 minutes.
3. Using a spatula, gently slide it under the egg and carefully flip it over. If you prefer a runny yolk, cook for just 1 minute; for a firmer yolk, let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the egg to a plate when done.

Serve your delicious fried eggs alongside buttered toast, or for a special treat, try them on buttered broiled baguette slices! They pair wonderfully with crispy bacon or savory sausage, making them ideal for breakfast or a quick weeknight dinner. Plus, kids tend to love them!
