Fried Eggs
 
On toast. Have it almost every day for breakfast :)

But, how do you get the white to cook but keep the yolk runny?
I go through about 20 eggs a week, and I STILL can't work this out :rolleyes:

Hotter oil in the pan, shorter cook time too.

Its all down to the heat in the pan - and how its distributed to the egg - you want a lot of heat quickly to the white so it cooks before the yolk does.

So best bet is to cook them in separate pans.

HTH

Of course you could just add a layer of veggie oil about 3mm deep to your pan, get that up to temp, crack in your eggs, then splash the top of the white with the hot oil (basting it) being careful not to splash the yolk - with heat from above and below the white should cook quickly.

Sprayoil only a couple of sprays in the bottom of the frying pan. Just before the egg is ready flip it with a plate knife for about 10 secs. take out of pan and enjoy all white cooked and still a runny yoke.

Plus the eggs are healthier as not dripping in oil!

Drew won't eat eggs which has any white uncooked!

After an idea from my g/f, she bought me a George Foreman grill. They do fried eggs perfectly, except they are grilled:p

I dont even use oil, the non stick and slotted spatula work fine.

Attempt to flick the hot oil over the eggs, miss, splash up back tiles, turn to Mum...

"You there! Clean that up"
