1 | Heat the serving plates. Gently separate the yolks of 2 Eggs. | |
2 | Take care not to break yolks from the whites. | |
3 | Melt 1 knob butter in a non-stick pan on medium heat. When the butter is melted, add 1 teaspoon water. This is the secret of how to cook the white without it forming a crust. | |
4 | Tip the egg whites all at once into the pan... | |
5 | ...and cook until they are just set. Salt and pepper to taste. | |
6 | Turn down the heat and very gently place the yolks on top of the cooked whites, spacing them evenly. Leave like this on low heat for about 3 minutes to heat the yolks through. | |
7 | Transfer to a hot plate. Your fried eggs are ready and perfectly cooked: the whites are set, the yolks runny. Serve immediately as they spoil quickly. | |
