Answer 1

Lightly oil the skillet-spray oil works well. Heat over medium heat, break egg carefully into skillet, cook until underside is set (under a minute), turn carefully with spatula. Cook another 30 seconds or so, carefully remove from skillet-salt is optional.
But a peanut butter sandwich is even easier.

Answer 2

There's something even easier than frying an egg.

Break one open, and plop it in a soup bowl - or better yet, a foam coffee cup.

Zap it in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir it with a fork, and keep repeating this until the egg is *almost* cooked.

I like to toss in shredded cheese so it melts with the egg. Sometimes, I add a little milk, but not much. If you have some real bacon bits for salads, you can toss those in, too, or you can chop up some lunch meat. Right now, we have some pickle/pimento loaf in the house, and yeah, it sounds strange, but it's really good in there, in about half-inch squares. Or you can toss in some chopped onion or chopped pepper.

But you don't need to.

Just an egg, salt and pepper, and a foam cup in the microwave.

The foam cup is better than a soup bowl because you don't have to wash it. Eggs tends to cling *really* right to a soup bowl.

To answer your question, though, put a bit of oil in the bottom of your skillet. Bacon fat works *really* well, and bacon goes well with the eggs, of course. You want your heat on medium, rather than really hot, unless you like the edge of the egg to get crispy crunchy.

Most people like their white cooked, their yolk liquid, but the yolk covered with a thin skin. You can do this by turning the egg at the last minute, but it's pretty easy to break the yolk that way. A clever little trick is to spoon the hot oil over the white to cook the top, and spoon just a tad over the yolk.

Yes, you add salt and pepper while it's cooking. Strange, but it tastes a lot different if you season the egg afterwards.

Eggs seem simple, and once you know how, they are, but for some reason, there are an awful lot of cooks that can't seem to master cooking eggs. If you hang in there, you'll eventually learn - and one nice thing about eggs is that they are so doggoned cheap, you can afford to throw away a few. A dozen large eggs for $1.20 is only 80c a pound!

There are lots of people claiming to be great chefs, but it's the good short-order cook at a place like Waffle House that earns *my* respect.

Answer 3

Cook them slowly. Depending on what type pan you are using, your fire (whether actual fire or electric) should be med to med low. To hot and you will get crusty whites and hard yellows.

I find that real butter cooks the best eggs though you can use bacon drippings or spray the pan with a little spray cooking oil. I don't like to use regular oil. They seem to stick.

Once the butter is melted and the pan heated, gently crack the eggs over the skillet and let alone until the whites look looked and set. Gently slice the spatula under and ease the eggs to the other side. If you like your yokes hard you should leave on the heat a little longer. If you like soft yokes they will be done only a minute or so after turning.

Answer 4

I always melt some butter in a non-stick skillet then all you have to do is crack the egg into the skillet and let it cook until it is lightly browned on one side then flip it over and cook it the rest of the way until you get it how you want it. I personally don't like mine runny so I break the yolk on mine and cook it longer, my husband likes his runny so I am really careful when flipping his and I only cook it for a few more seconds once it has been flipped that way it is nice and runny. Also if you like you can add some salt and pepper while it's cooking. I like to put seasoning salt on mine.

Answer 5

Easiest way to fry an egg is, this way you don't have to flip them;

use a non-stick pan or a pan lightly coated in oil or non-stick spray. heat the pan on high heat. break your eggs in a bowl and slide it into the midlle of the pan. cover with the pan lid & lower the heat to low. wait about 3mins and the whites will go solid. turn off the heat and they're done.

how old are you? tell your parents you want to learn to fry eggs and have them supervise you the 1st couple of times.

Answer 6

You dont have to use salt, but some form of oil is needed, I perfer butter, just dont use too much, it is a waste, and the excess will burn. start with med-low heat untill you get used to your stove and find out how you like to cook them. I like to flip the egg once the egg whites seem, well white.

Answer 7

very carefully
