Ingredients

• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil covers the skillet in a thin layer.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot but not smoking, gently crack an egg into a small bowl or cup. Hold the bowl close to the surface of the skillet and slide the egg into the hot oil. Repeat with the second egg.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and let the eggs cook undisturbed until the edges are crispy and the whites are fully set, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 4

While the eggs are cooking, sprinkle them with freshly ground black pepper and paprika to taste. Avoid adding salt to keep it low sodium.

Step 5

Once the eggs are done to your preference, remove them from the skillet using a spatula.

Step 6

Transfer the huevo frito onto a plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your low-sodium huevo frito with a slice of whole grain bread or on top of a salad for a delicious meal.
