Tips For Fantastic Fried Eggs

Morning Ken, I just tried to send the redone egg article but it wouldn't send because the PM it was on was over a week old. Here it is again with the keyword density altered:

Tips for Fantastic Fried Eggs

The best way to cook this delicious treat is to cook slowly and always in butter. This cooking method was developed and perfected by Master French Chef Fernana Point in the 1950s, at his restaurant La Pyramide.

Point would test visiting chefs by asking them to fry one for him. When the chefs dropped one into a skillet of sizzling hot oil, the Master French Chef would demonstrate his method of cooking them slowly in butter for amazing results. You might not think that using butter and a low heat would give such a different result from using oil and a higher heat, but it really does.

Some people like to use this frying method with butter over a low to moderate heat and others still prefer to use hot oil. It is always a good idea to fry this protein-packed snack over a low heat though, no matter which type of fat you fry them in. Overcooked, rubbery ones are not very appetizing! You can either turn them partway through cooking to do both sides or add a little water to the pan and cover it with a lid to cook the tops.

Fernana Point's Recipe

Add three quarters of a tablespoon of butter to a skillet and let it melt into a spreadable consistency. Break an egg on to a saucer and slide it into the butter. Cook the egg over a very low heat so the yolk becomes hot but stays liquid and the white turns slightly creamy.

Melt some more butter in another pan. Transfer the cooked eggs to a warmed serving plate and add salt and pepper to taste. Pour the fresh, warm butter over it and serve. It is important to use the freshest eggs you can get when making this recipe because they hold their shape better.

How to Make Steam-Fried Eggs

Lightly grease a skillet with butter and heat it. Add the eggs and turn the heat down to low. Cook them for a minute or until the edges are white. Add a teaspoon of water to it, a teaspoon and three quarters of water if you are cooking two or two and a half teaspoons for three.

Cover the pan with a tight lid to keep in the steam. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are thick without being hard. Season with salt and pepper and serve. These taste similar to when you use butter for cooking them because the steam keeps them soft, juicy and perfectly textured.

Mouthwatering Serving Ideas

You can serve this dish for breakfast along with sausage, bacon, hash browns, mushrooms, tomatoes and anything else you fancy, or simply on toast. They are also a great garnish for a lot of rice or noodle dishes, especially Asian ones. Be creative. This delicious snack complements so many dishes, especially when you know how to cook them properly, slowly and in butter.

A fried egg sandwich is considered by many people to be a great comfort food and you can add some ketchup, barbecue sauce, or Worcestershire sauce to give even more flavor to this tasty treat. This sandwich would be great for any meal, including breakfast, or even as a tasty pick-me-up in the late morning or afternoon.
