Eggs are one of the most versatile and nutritious foods available. They are easy to find, relatively affordable, and incredibly easy to prepare, especially when it comes to cooking a fried egg. The fried egg is a classic breakfast food that many people love. The great thing about it is that it is incredibly easy to make and it adds lots of flavor and nutritional value to breakfast. Here are a few cooking techniques to prepare a fried egg:

1. The Classic Fried Egg

The classic fried egg is the most simple version of a fried egg. The egg is cooked until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny. Start by heating a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add in a teaspoon of butter or oil and let it melt. Gently crack your egg into the pan and let it cook for two to three minutes. Be sure to season with salt and pepper before enjoying it served on toast or by itself.

2. Over-easy Fried Egg

Over-easy fried eggs have a runny yolk that is just cooked enough to avoid the raw texture. To cook an over-easy fried egg, follow the classic frying technique, then gently flip the egg over with a spatula and let it cook for a further thirty seconds. Remove the egg from the pan and season it with salt and pepper according to your taste. It’s perfect served on toast or as part of a larger breakfast.

3. Sunny-side up Fried Egg

This technique is slightly different from the classic technique as the underside of the egg never touches the pan. Add the butter or oil to the pan and let it melt. Crack the egg gently into the pan and let it cook for 2 minutes until the white is set, and the yolk is still runny. Remove the egg from the pan and season with salt and pepper. This technique is perfect for people who prefer their eggs with a gooey and runny texture.

4. Poached Egg

This technique is highly rated as it is a healthier version of fried eggs, and it is great for creating a visually appealing breakfast dish. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a teaspoon of vinegar. Crack the egg into a small bowl and carefully drop it into the simmering water in the pot. Let the egg simmer for approximately three minutes until the white is set and the yolk is slightly runny. Remove the poached egg using a slotted spoon, blot the egg with a kitchen towel to absorb extra water, then serve warm.

Conclusion

Fried eggs are a delicious breakfast dish that provides the body with essential protein, nutrients and energy to kick start your day. The techniques above are all easy to follow, and you can decide which one suits your taste preference best. Remember, Always start with fresh eggs, and be gentle while handling them, so you don’t accidentally break the yolk. Enjoy your breakfast and have a great start to your day!
