How To Fry An Egg

Ingredients

• 1-2 eggs (per person)
• 1-2 tbsp oil or fat (olive oil, avocado oil, bacon fat or butter)
• salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Place your pan over medium-high heat and allow to preheat for a minute or two.

2. 2

   This is particularly important with stainless steel as the pan needs to be hot before you add the oil to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   Add 1-2 tbsp oil and allow to heat for a few seconds then add the eggs.

4. 4

   To avoid small bits of shell in the pan, break the eggs into a small ramekin then slide into the hot pan.

5. 5

   Reduce the temperature to medium-low then allow to fry for a minute or so.

6. 6

   Cover with a lid and allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes then season with salt and pepper and serve.
