RECIPE FORTY THREE: Sunday December 17th - crispy egg

BACK STORY:
I wanted to eat an egg with my latke waffles and this "recipe" was linked on the Smitten Kitchen website with the latke recipe so I tried it!

NOTES:
This is basically how I make a fried egg - cook the oil hot, throw the egg on, let it sizzle. Even though the recipe didn't call for it I did turn the egg over, but I'd like to try it without that to let the yolk goo a bit. Very delicious but I'm not sure you need a recipe for it!

STARS: 
5 out of 5. Easy and what I was already doing.

RECIPE:
https://smittenkitchen.com/2014/10/the-crispy-egg/


1 glug olive oil or cooking fat of your choice
1 egg, any size
Salt, pepper, herbs, spices or hot sauce, or all of the above

Over a high flame, heat a skillet for a full minute. Add a glug of oil and let it heat until it just begins to smoke, another 30 seconds. Add your egg, reduce the heat to medium-high, and step back; it’s going to hiss and sputter and basically be the most wildly dramatic thing to happen at breakfast in a long time. Within a minute, it should get brown at the edges but don’t touch or move it. Let it cook until the white looks fully opaque, another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Shimmy a thin metal spatula under the egg, gently loosening any stuck parts. Transfer to whatever you’re serving it on (toast, latke wafflesfried ricehome fries, a plate), shower it with seasonings, herbs and spices of your choice and waste no time digging in. Repeat as needed.
