How to…Fry an Egg

Most people feel confident about frying an egg. However, there is a big difference between a well-fried egg and a rubbery one. Add a little oil to the butter to prevent the butter burning.
Method
- Heat a heavy-based non-stick frying pan and add some oil and a knob of butter. When the butter is sizzling, carefully break the egg into the pan and gently fry over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally.
- For eggs ‘sunny side up’, cook for 1 minute, until the white is set. As the egg cooks, spoon some hot oil over the yolk so that the surface sets. Turn off the heat and leave to stand for 1 minute.
- For eggs ‘over easy’, cook for 1 minute until the white is set, then use a spatula to turn the egg over. Cook for 30 seconds (no more) over low heat. For fully hard yolks, cook for 1 minute.
- Lift out the egg with a metal spatula, drain on paper towels and season well before serving.
