Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cooking spray if not using a non-stick pan

Instructions

  • Choose your frying pan. If it is not a non-stick surface, spray it with some cooking spray.
    cooking spray
  • Add olive oil to your frying pan. The oil should be about 1 cm deep
    olive oil
  • Heat oil over medium-high heat for about one minute until it gets quite hot.
  • Crack your egg into a bowl and gently slip it into the hot oil. The egg should start to cook immediately, with the egg white turning opaque very quickly.
    1 large egg
  • Turn the heat down to medium and cook egg carefully. Tilt your pan to one side occasionally to pool the hot oil into one side of the pan. This will help stop any oil splattering. Also, with a tablespoon, scoop up some of the hot oil and carefully pour it over the egg yolk. Repeat this several times, depending upon how runny (or not) you want your yolk.
  • Continue to cook your egg until you have a nice, golden, crispy outer edge to your egg white.
  • Using a slotted spatula, carefully remove your egg from the frying pan.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired.

  • Enjoy!
