If you’re like me, you like your eggs over-easy, so that the whites are entirely set, but the yolks are still soft – but you find it maddeningly difficult to flip a fried egg without breaking the yolk. Here’s the solution!
Yield: 1 serving, with about 1.5 grams of carbohydrates, no fiber, and 16 grams of protein.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 tablespoon butter or oil
- 1 teaspoon water
INSTRUCTIONS
- Spray your skillet with nonstick cooking spray, and place it over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the butter and coat the bottom of the pan with it. Crack your eggs into the skillet-careful not to break the yolks!-and immediately cover them.
- Wait about 2 minutes and check your eggs. They should be well set on the bottom, but still a bit slimy on top. Add a teaspoon of water for each serving, turn the burner to low, and cover the pan again.
- Check after a minute; the steam will have cooked the tops of the eggs. If there’s still a bit of uncooked white, give it another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Lift out and serve hot.
