Spanish-Style Fried Eggs
Spanish-Style Fried Eggs
Huevos Fritos a la Española
Ingrediënten
- Olive oil or a mix of olive and salad oils for frying
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- Kosher or sea salt
Instructies
- In a medium skillet, heat around ½ inch of oil over high heat until it begins to smoke slightly.
- It should be very hot.
- Crack no more than 2 eggs into the hot oil.
- Move quickly and carefully.
- As the eggs sizzle, use a large spoon to fold the spread-out edges of the egg whites up and over the yolks, shaping them into a circular form.
- Let the hot oil flow over the eggs, allowing the edges to become crispy and the yolks to set.
- This should take approximately a minute.
- Using a slotted spatula, carefully transfer the fried eggs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain briefly.
- Repeat the process for additional eggs if desired.
- Season the eggs with salt and serve immediately while they’re hot.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Enjoy these “vestidos de torero” eggs as a delicious, crispy treat for lunch or dinner, perhaps alongside fried potatoes or any preferred side dish.
Note:
The preparation time may vary depending on the number of eggs cooked simultaneously and the skillet’s size.
