These are probably one of the best flavourful fried eggs you have ever tasted. This is the only way we love to eat fried eggs here. I love eggs. It’s no secret. But one condition is whichever egg recipe I make, eggs have to be perfectly cooked. Cooking eggs to perfection is easy if you know the right technique, time and temperature to cook eggs. I have already shared a method to perfect boiled eggs and fluffy scrambled eggs. Another form of eggs that we make many times is fried eggs. Noodles, fried rice, over toast as a side of salad. We love crispy oil fried eggs. In this recipe of fried eggs, I am talking about my tried and tested technique to make a fried egg. When making fried eggs we know each one of us has personal preferences for fried eggs. Some like sunny side up and some like it over easy. The difference between sunny side up and over easy is that over-easy eggs are flipped and cooked on both sides before removing from the pan. Sunny side eggs are cooked from one side only. The egg whites are set and yolks are runny or jammy in both types of fried eggs. Adjust the cooking time with the timer method and you can make all types of fried eggs. Make them over easy, over medium over hard. They are all so delicious and super easy to make.

You need only these 3 ingredients.
How to Make the Best Fried Egg
You can do these things to make the best-fried eggs. Start with a great egg. Fresh organic eggs with a beautiful orangish-yellow yolk look good and taste great. You can use free-range eggs if available. In India, desi anda tastes good and looks better as well. Cook one egg at a time. One egg at a time is the best way to cook if you are cooking for few people. I do not generally cook two eggs together in one pan because if they merge they don’t look that good. Otherwise, you can do two eggs in a large skillet with enough gap between two eggs.
Which pan to use while frying eggs?
I use a toxin-free non-stick pan which makes it easier to handle during shoots. But if you use non-stick pans make sure to use non-toxic high-quality ones. I am sharing a few of my favourite ones in the recipe card below. For the second choice either use a cast-iron skillet or a thick bottomed stainless steel pan to cook eggs. I have shared The Best pan to cook eggs previously.

Recipe notes: Tips & Technique
One thing to be careful of is oil splatters. For that either step away a bit from the stove. It might also leave your stovetop a little messy if you are not careful. While cracking the egg first break it into a bowl and then pour it. This makes sure that yolk does not break while pouring. If you want to crack egg directly in a pan make sure to crack it close to the Pan’s surface so that yolk is not disturbed while pouring. I am sharing methods to cook the Fried egg in many different ways.
For Sunny Side Up
In a small nonstick pan over medium heat heat olive oil. Crack the egg into the pan. Cook it for 2 minutes, or until white is completely set and the edges are crispy. Season with sea salt and chilli flakes or black pepper.
For Over Easy Fried Eggs
In a pan over medium heat, heat olive oil. Crack an egg into the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, or until white is all set. Flip the cooked egg after it is crispy from the underside and cook 30 seconds more. Season with sea salt and chilli flakes or black pepper and serve.
For Over Hard Eggs
Just like hard-boiled eggs, you can make over hard eggs. In over hard eggs the yolk is cooked and firm. For making an over hard fried egg flip the egg after cooking 2 minutes on one side. Flip it and cook on the other side till the yolk is fully cooked.
