Ingredients
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into a small bowl, being careful not to break the yolks. This will make it easier to transfer them to the pan.
Step 3
Carefully slide the eggs into the pan, spacing them evenly apart.
Step 4
Sprinkle the eggs with salt and black pepper, seasoning to taste.
Step 5
Allow the eggs to fry undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes or until the whites are crisp at the edges and the yolk is cooked to your preference.
Step 6
If you prefer your yolks more set, you can gently cover the pan with a lid for the last 30 seconds to 1 minute of cooking.
Step 7
Remove the pan from heat and use a spatula to carefully transfer the eggs onto plates.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
