Tips for cooking the best fried egg
1. Make sure the pan is very hot before adding the oil or butter. You can check the temperature by spraying some water on the pan. If the water sizzles, the pan is ready.
2. Add enough oil or butter to cover the entire base of the pan. If there is not enough fat, the egg will stick.
3. Crack the egg carefully into the pan, trying to keep the yolk intact if you prefer a fried egg with a runny yolk.
4. Let the egg cook in the hot oil until the white is firm and the yolk is cooked to your liking. If you prefer a runny yolk, cook the egg for 2-3 minutes; If you prefer a cooked yolk, cook the egg for 4-5 minutes.
5. Use a spatula to carefully remove the egg from the pan. You can drain the excess fat on a paper towel before serving the fried egg.
6. If you want to give the fried egg an extra touch of flavor, add fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro, or sprinkle with a little grated cheese before serving.
