Ingredients
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Place a non-stick frying pan on the stove over medium-low heat.
Step 2
Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 0.5 teaspoon of unsalted butter into the pan. Allow the butter to melt and mix with the oil.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted and the oil is shimmering, carefully crack the large egg into the pan. Be gentle so as not to break the yolk.
Step 4
Let the egg cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes or until the white is mostly set.
Step 5
Sprinkle a pinch of ground black pepper over the egg for added flavor.
Step 6
If you prefer an over-easy egg, carefully flip the egg using a spatula. Cook for an additional 30-45 seconds for a runny yolk, or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
Step 7
Remove the egg from the pan and serve immediately. Enjoy your low sodium ovo frito with a variety of side dishes, or on its own for a wholesome meal.
