Ingredients
- 1 tbsp cooking oil (enough to fully coat the pan; vegetable or canola oil works well)
- 1 egg (large)
Steps
- 1
Add some oil to a nonstick pan over medium-low heat.
- 2
Swirl the pan to ensure the bottom is fully coated with the oil.
- 3
Crack your egg very low to the pan to prevent the yolk from breaking.
- 4
Cook the egg over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes uncovered, allowing the whites to set gradually.
- 5
Place a lid on the pan for just the final minute of cooking to lightly steam the top of the whites.
- 6
Remove the egg from the pan and serve immediately.
Notes
Cracking the egg close to the pan surface helps maintain the structural integrity of the yolk and prevents splashing. The final minute with the lid ensures the top layer of the egg white is fully cooked without overcooking the yolk.
