How to fry eggs in water?
To fry eggs in water, you just have to replace the oil with water, add about 3 tablespoons of water to the pan, place the pan over medium heat, crack the egg in half over the pan and let it cook/fry for a minute, then flip it over, if the water has completely reduced, add another two tablespoons of water. Serve, garnish and enjoy, it's that easy.
How to prevent eggs from sticking to the pan?
To prevent eggs from sticking to the pan, it is advisable to use a non-stick pan. It's also important to ensure that the oil is hot enough before adding the egg to form a protective layer at the bottom of the pan.
How to know when the eggs are ready?
The cooking time will depend on how you like your fried egg. If you like the yolk runny, leave it in the pan for only a few minutes. If you prefer the yolk more cooked, leave it a little longer. If you want to check the cooking, you can cut the egg with a spatula and check if the white is completely cooked and the yolk has the consistency you desire.
Tips and tricks
- To get fried eggs with a creamy yolk, add a teaspoon of water to the pan before placing the egg. This will create a little steam and help cook the yolk without it hardening.
- If you want to add a little extra flavor to your fried eggs, you can add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the pan before placing the egg. You can also add a little grated cheese just before removing the egg from the pan.
Recommendations
- Fried eggs are a great option for breakfast, but they can also be a tasty addition to a quick and easy dinner. Try serving them with a salad or a portion of rice and beans.
- If you are interested in Colombian cuisine, you can try other egg preparations like pericos eggs, a popular recipe that combines scrambled eggs with tomato and onion.
Mistakes that can be made when preparing fried eggs
- Cooking the egg over too high heat can harden the white and burn the yolk. Be sure to control the heat of the pan to get the desired result.
- Breaking the yolk when flipping the egg can ruin the presentation and cause a little loss of flavor. Make sure to use a wide spatula and slide it under the egg carefully before flipping it.
Fried eggs in the microwave
To prepare fried eggs in the microwave, you must break the egg and place it in a microwave-safe container with a lid (since it can splash all over the microwave), put it in the microwave and leave it there for two and a half minutes. Remove it from the container, serve, add salt, and enjoy.
