Cooking the perfect fried egg is all about controlling the heat and timing. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to achieve a fried egg with a crispy edge and a runny yolk

Ingredients
– 1-2 fresh eggs
– 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, olive oil, or butter)
– Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Heat the Pan:
– Place a non-stick or cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Let it warm up for about 1-2 minutes.

2. Add Fat:
– Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil or butter to the pan. Let it heat until it shimmers (for oil) or melts and bubbles slightly (for butter).

3. Crack the Egg:
– Crack the egg into a small bowl first to avoid shell fragments, then gently slide it into the pan. Alternatively, crack it directly into the pan if you’re confident.

4. Control the Heat:
– Lower the heat to medium-low to prevent the egg from cooking too quickly. This helps avoid overcooking the yolk while ensuring the whites set properly.

5. Cook to Your Preference:
– Sunny-Side Up: Let the egg cook undisturbed until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny (about 2-3 minutes).
– Over-Easy: After the whites set, gently flip the egg with a spatula and cook for an additional 20-30 seconds for a runny yolk.
– Over-Medium/Over-Hard: Flip the egg and cook longer (1-2 minutes for over-medium, 2-3 minutes for over-hard).

6. Season and Serve:
– Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately while hot.
