When I’m frying an egg, I want it to taste fried with crispy brown edges. Here’s how to fry an egg with a runny yolk, set whites, and crispy edges. The secret is plenty of oil, a hot pan, and basting.

Or just put a lid on it lol
Cook eggs however you like to eat eggs.😊
I have just discovered Angry Kenji. I am a little scared.
Sir that’s a basted egg
How much egg would you like with your oil?
That. Was. Amazing. Thank you, but now I'm entering a food coma.
Nothing crispy about this egg 😂
nah, marco is right. when you cook eggs like this it tastes like rubbery garbage and just tastes like oil. egg is a delicate ingredients and gets overcooked incredibly fast. "fried egg" was never literal. tv/youtube cooks no nothing lol
Kenji, big admirer of you here, I have all your books and I call you guru jokingly with friends and family, and, this fried egg is what almost every single Spaniard learns between 14 and 20 years old, check “huevos con puntilla”.
… and just keep on eating your disgusting ‘over peppered’ eggs. BTW, use a fish spatula for lifting your eggs. Wooden spoons absorb flavors, soap and oil penetrates the wood that eventually goes rancid. It’s disgusting.
The oil is stuck in the bubbled crusty egg. Carry on making your disgusting food. 🥚
Too much oil dude
I'll stick with Jacques Pepin's œuf au miroir I think, but thanks.
Id love to have that pan btw.
That's some strong opinions about fried eggs lol
This is how I have done it my entire life.
No wonder I've never once enjoyed Eggs Benedict. I grew up eating super crispy egg whites with runny yolks.
This is how my grandmother taught me to fry an egg. Only difference is we would splash the grease up and over the egg.
disgusting food
Swimming in oil ! No way I start my morning with that much fat !
Kenji will never be a woman.
I once ate this exact type of egg at a street vendor almost 10 years ago in India, i always wondered how he made the yellow part so runny and tasty
As an Englishman Marco thinks everything the French do with eggs is perfect and can’t be questioned.
I think the world can accept that people are allowed to like their eggs cooked differently. There is no right or wrong way.
