Best Olive Oil Basted Fried Eggs Recipes
OLIVE OIL FRIED EGGS WITH SPANISH PANTRY SAUCE
Steps:
- For the sauce: Combine the oil, parsley, almonds, paprika, salt, pepper, tomatoes, red peppers and garlic in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- For the eggs: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the bread on a baking sheet. Brush the bread with 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Toast in the oven until toasted and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Heat the remaining 1 1/2 cups olive oil in a large nonstick saute pan set over medium heat. Crack 4 of the eggs into the pan making sure each egg has enough room for the white to spread out. Fry the eggs and, using a spoon, carefully baste them with the olive oil to cook the tops. Cook until the edges of the whites start to get golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 4 eggs.
- Lay 2 pieces of toast on a plate and top each with a fried egg. Season the eggs with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and finish with a heaping spoonful of the Spanish pantry sauce. Serve immediately.
OLIVE OIL-FRIED EGG
This method for making fried eggs lies somewhere between the techniques for Spanish fried eggs and for classic sunny side up: The edges are crispy and golden, the whites are set, yet the yolk is still runny. To achieve this contrast in textures, the eggs are cooked in a thin layer of rippling-hot oil. While this recipe is written for four eggs, it will work with any number. (Adjust the pan size and oil accordingly). Avoid touching the eggs until the bottoms and edges are lacy and crisp. Once that happens, spoon some of the oil onto the whites until cooked through. The yolk remains untouched, ready to be sopped up by toast or potatoes, or with yogurt.

Steps:
- In a medium (10-inch) cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high until it ripples like the ocean. (This can take 2 to 2 1/2 minutes).
- Crack the eggs into the pan. To minimize splatters and spreading, open the shell near the oil (not from high up), and slowly let the egg pour out of the shell. Leave the eggs untouched until the edges are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Gently tilt the pan towards you, spoon up some of the oil, and baste just the whites and edges of the yolk until the whites are set, about 1 minute. (Avoid the yolk so that it stays runny). Turn off the heat, season with salt and pepper, then transfer the eggs to plates using a spoon or slotted spatula.

Steps:
- Pour 1/8 inch of oil into a small skillet. Heat over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute. Crack eggs into skillet; season with salt. Cook, tilting skillet slightly and spooning oil over eggs repeatedly, until whites are puffed slightly, crisp and golden brown along edges, and just set but yolks are still wet, about 2 minutes.
