Perfect Fried Eggs

With our simple cooking method, burnt or undercooked eggs are a thing of the past.

PREP: 2 minutes
COOK: 3 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 teaspoon water
• Salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat a small frying pan on medium heat. Add butter and swirl it around the pan to coat.
2. Add egg to pan. Pour water onto pan surface, not onto the egg, then cover and cook for about 3 minutes, or until egg white is cooked through and the yolk has reached desired consistency. Adding water to the cooking process creates steam that cooks the top of the egg.
3. Transfer fried egg to plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired.

TIPS: Crack egg into a small bowl before adding it to the pan. This makes retrieving pieces of shell easier and avoids burning tender fingertips. Also, if you need to prepare more than one egg, just be sure to adjust your butter and water measurements accordingly.
