How do you cook the perfect fried egg?

by actually frying it, meaning that fat (preferably butter desu) comes into contact with the top of the white. basting and a small pan help.

i like medium heat for only a light color at the bottom of the whites but alternatively use very high temperature to get crispy whites with still runny yolks if thats your thing.

>basting
What a meme
Doesn't work nearly as good as light coat of butter at bottom of pan and breaking the albumin on top of the yolk gently with a fork and spreading it out a bit more to cook.
Wastes less oil/butter this way too

Oil oil oil!!!! Then cook that bad boy on medium with a plate over the pan. Perfect egg.

Medium low pan, bit of oil. Cook egg until bottom starts to set, put lid on for a couple of minutes. Season.

Perfectly cooked.

butter is better

>>9022759

Butter is no better than oil for frying with. Perhaps the only time i would put butter in a frying pan is to finish a steak, and even then only a small bit.

Its completely different and gives a better flavour

microwave for 45 seconds

This

Enough butter to submerge most of the white

Tastes amazing and cooks it better

You flip the egg without a tool once the albumen is congealed enough to not fall apart. Then you let it sit for ten seconds. Then you flip it again, S+P the top, and get it sent back to the kitchen because the customer doesn't know the difference between over easy and over hard.


For actual fried eggs, not pan cooked eggs like you're talking about, you fill a shallow pot with frying oil, let it get to heat, then put the eggs in the oil. Then you take them out of the oil. Wa la.

Don't do that. Separate the albumen and yolk before you put the egg in the pan.

lol at the comment section
fucking online safe spaces amirite?

>all these butter plebs

Use bacon grease every time. Just save it in your fridge after you make bacon

>>9022982
do americans deep fry eggs? damn

Hot pan

Do it the Oriental method. High heat with lots of oil, make sure the pan is very hot before putting the egg in.

When you get those big bubbles you know you've don't it right. The flavour and texture is just the best.

You don't really have to store it in the fridge

No fuck off, your ebin memelord 4channer shit is obnoxious. It's just a middle aged mother making videos of not very good cooking there's no need to be a bullyfaggot and insult strangers just because you're on the internet.

Fuck these butterfags lmao.

Fry the bacon first, reserve about a teaspoon of the grease.
Drop yer egg on top of the grease, add pepper. Cover the frying pan, drop the heat to just under medium.
For 2 eggs, I give it two or three minutes. This gets you those crispy edges without a hard yolk.

Again, fuck you butterfags. Shameful in 2017...

After you cook an egg you have to drop it on the floor and then pick it up and eat it.

As an omlete, with cheese, meat, and sometimes veggies.

Heat pan with lid on.

Butter pan.

Put egg(s) in pan with high heat.

Put lid on.

Remove cooked eggs.

Butter pan, Low heat, put lid on, wait for yolk to have opaque coating covering it, plate it, cover it with hashbrowns.

There's a reason why you are ignored.
