Crispy Fried Eggs

Crispy fried eggs are easy to make and a great way to add texture to any dish. I really love to add them to instant ramen, burgers, sandwiches, and burritos.

Instructions
 

  • Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat until it's smoking hot. To check the temperature, I usually rub a paper towel with some oil on the pan. If the oil starts smoking right away, then I know the pan is hot enough. Otherwise I just keep heating it.
  • Add two tablespoons of oil to the pan and swirl it all over.
  • Crack the eggs in one at a time and reduce to medium heat. Cook for 1 minute undisturbed until the edges are brown and crispy. Flip and continue cooking for 15 seconds for over-easy or 2 minutes for over-hard.
  • Transfer the eggs upside down to a wire rack so that the bottoms stay crispy. Enjoy!
