A couple years ago I discovered how to make fried eggs. I had never tried this myself nor had I ever really eaten eggs this way. I was always a scrambled eggs girl. Well, no longer! Don't worry, I still enjoy a good scramble but a fried egg has become my go to. Fry up an egg and put it on anything and you've got breakfast, lunch or dinner!
I use this method all the time and in this instance I happened to take some leftover filling from Taco Tuesday and put TWO eggs on it. A little dash of Crystal hot sauce (yum!) and I had myself a super filling and nutritious meal.
The filling was made of corn, ground turkey, black beans and onions, all seasoned with cumin, chili powder and paprika to make it taste like tacos. Reheat in the microwave, cook up an egg or two and WHAM BAM, you have a meal done in 5 minutes!
Since there's not really a recipe to this, I'll share with you how I make my fried eggs.
Ingredients:
- Egg(s)
- Olive oil cooking spray
- S&P
Instructions:
- Lightly coat a pan with some olive oil cooking spray.
- Pan should be at medium heat. The secret here is to cook it low and (kind of) slow so it all gets cooked evenly but you still have that rich, delicious, runny yolk.
**If the thought of the runny yolk freaks you out, feel free to cook it through. My husband doesn't like it runny at all so whatever you want, go for it! It's your kitchen after all.*
- Crack an egg (or two) into the pan and let it do it's thing.
- I usually cook mine for 3-4 minutes and when it's 95% done, I flip it over, turn off the heat and get it onto my plate.
- Season with S&P.
**The flipping over part takes some patience, practice and a little skill. After MANY attempts, I've gotten to the point where I just give the pan a good flick of the wrist and the egg flips in mid-air. Makes me feel like a chef when I succeed at the flip, haha! You'll find a method that works for you.**
