Prep Time 3 mins

Cook Time 2 mins

Total Time 5 mins

Servings 1 fried egg

Ingredients

  

• 1 large egg
• 1 generous tablespoon butter or olive oil
• 1 slice of toasted bread optional
• 1/2 avocado optional

Instructions

 

• Put a fry or saute pan on the stove, and put in the generous amount of butter or oil. Heat on high until sizzling.
• In the meantime, crack an egg into a separate small bowl (this makes it easier to pour into the pan and create an even cook).
• Once the pan is sizzling, pour the egg into the center of the butter or olive oil, and let it stay there.
• Don’t touch the egg, just let it cook on high for 2 minutes (runny yolk), 2 min 15 sec (medium yolk), or 2 min 30 sec (firmer yolk).
• Turn off the stove, and let the egg set for a minute.
• Pour onto the prepared avocado toast, plain toast, or enjoy on it’s own!
