Fried Eggs (Sunny Side Up)

Ingredients

• Eggs, large 4 (200 g without shell)
• Sunflower or other vegetable oil 1 tbsp
• Salt 1/4 tsp (1.5 g)
• Black pepper, freshly ground a pinch
• Paprika or chili flakes a pinch (optional)
• Chives, finely chopped 1 tbsp (3 g)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oil in a 26 cm nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 1 minute.

2. 2

   Crack the eggs one at a time into a cup and slide them gently into the pan, keeping them apart.

3. 3

   Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the whites are set at the edges and turn opaque.

4. 4

   Tilt the pan and spoon the hot oil over the whites near the yolks for 1 minute, or cover with a lid, until the whites are fully set and the yolks are still runny.

5. 5

   For over-easy eggs, flip them carefully and cook for 30 seconds more.

6. 6

   Season with salt, pepper and paprika, sprinkle with chives and serve at once.
