Ingredients

2 pieces large eggs
2 tablespoons coconut oil
0.25 teaspoons sea salt
0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 2

Once the oil is shimmering but not smoking, crack the eggs gently into the skillet, ensuring they are not too close together.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and let the eggs cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 4

Alternatively, if you prefer the yolks more set, cover the skillet with a lid for the last minute of cooking.

Step 5

Once cooked to your preference, carefully remove the eggs with a spatula and transfer them to a plate.

Step 6

Season the eggs with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving, and enjoy your Paleo Huevo Frito immediately.
