Over Hard Eggs
Over hard eggs are a delicious and protein packed breakfast. Fried eggs with a yolk that is cooked all the way through is perfect for sandwiches, salads, or as the star next to sausage and bacon.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs optional
Instructions
- Heat a skillet to low heat.
- Add about 1/2 tablespoon of butter and allow to melt.
- Crack the egg into a preheated cast iron skillet, then break the yolk.
- Cook until the egg is almost cooked through.
- Turn off the skillet and flip the egg for the yolk to finish cooking all the way through. About 1-2 more minutes.
- Top with salt and pepper.
- Add herbs like parsley or thyme (optional).
Notes
- Keep the skille ton low heat. Cooking too high will cook the white too quickly and while not cooking the yolks enough. And potentially burning the recipe.
- Use a healthy nuetral oil like butter, avocado oil, lard, etc.
- Make sure to choose a non-stick skillet so there is no sticking. I prefer my cast iron skillet or a ceramic coated pan for a healthy non-stick option.
