Ingredients
  • 1½ Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Large Egg
  • Salt
  • Pepper
Instructions
  1. Heat 6" cast iron skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes.
  2. Carefully add oil to hot pan. (If using a bigger pan and/or more eggs, you'll need to use more olive oil.)
  3. Heat oil until you see small bubbles popping in the oil. (about another minute)
  4. Carefully add egg to center of hot pan. (The egg will bubble up violently...it's supposed to do that.)
  5. Cook until yolk is at desired doneness.
  6. You can add salt and pepper while it's cooking or after.
  7. Use a flat, slotted spatula to remove egg from pan.
  8. Turn off heat.
  9. Serve.
Notes
For firmer yolk, cook 1 to 2 minutes longer.
