Fried Egg
1 fresh large egg*
3/4 tablespoon of butter
Salt and pepper
* Use the freshest and best eggs you can find.
Place a small non-stick frying pan over the lowest possible heat on your stove (if using gas, you should barely see the blue flame.)
Add the butter and let slowly melt, making sure it doesn’t foam and is not sizzling.
When all the butter has melted, crack the egg into a small bowl, dish, or saucer (taking care not to break the yolk and to remove any shell fragments).
Gently slide the egg off the dish into the frying pan and cover with a lid.
Continue cooking approximately 5 minutes until the egg white solidifies from transparency into snow-white cream; the yolk will thicken slightly as it heats. How quickly the egg cooks is dependent on how low you have the heat.
Do not flip the eggs but leave the egg sunny side up and natural.
When your egg is done, slide cooked egg onto a serving plate; sprinkle with fresh cracked pepper, salt, and serve.

Got something to say?
Here’s a magazine you should know about. It’s called La Cucina Italiana and it’s the U.S. edition of Italy’s oldest and most popular cooking magazine. It’s all about cooking traditional & modern Italian dishes using healthy, fresh and seasonal ingredients. (Thankfully, it’s for chefs of all levels.) I’m looking to spread the word, and if you’d like to take a look, I’d be delighted to send you a free media subscription. Here’s the site. http://www.lacucinaitalianamagazine.com. Also, if you want to host a recipe contest, we can provide the winner with a free subscription as well. Some ideas for the contest are:
- Momma’s homemade spaghetti sauce
- The tastiest organic Italian soup for fall weather
- Gelato to chill for
- Holidays in the homeland…the most authentic – and delicious – Italian holiday dish
If you’d like to receive the magazine, please send your contact information to me at Vickie@reynoldspublicrelations.com. Thanks!
Very nice. I have also a site for recipes for cooking, but you have to translate the Google translate. I am from Slovakia.
