Start your day off right by frying eggs in a shallow pool of olive oil -- tilt the pan and spoon the hot oil over the tops to give the whites crispy edges and a souffled texture. Enjoy with toast or in our Breakfast Bowl with Yogurt and Vegetables.

This style of frying eggs results in crisp, crackly whites and beautiful, barely set yolks. The spicy garlic oil and smoked mozzarella make this dish an unusual but delicious brunch or light dinner.

Time 15m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
8 large eggs
1 1/4 cups coarsely grated smoked mozzarella (6 ounces)
Accompaniment: crusty bread

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then stir together with red-pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons oil in a small bowl.
  • Break eggs into a bowl. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a flameproof 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Pour in eggs and cook, undisturbed, until whites begin to set, then cook, lifting up edge of cooked whites with a spatula to let as much raw egg white as possible flow underneath, 2 minutes (top and yolks will still be very loose). Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle cheese over eggs.
  • Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until cheese is melted and bubbling and yolks are barely set, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve drizzled with garlic oil.

OLIVE OIL-FRIED EGG



Olive Oil-Fried Egg image

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.

Time 10m

Yield 4 eggs

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 eggs
Kosher salt and black pepper

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.
