Steamed Basted Fried Eggs Recipes

STEAMED (BASTED) FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Spray a non-stick frying pan (size to accomodate the number of eggs) with oil spray. I often use well-seasoned cast iron skillets.
• Place the pan over medium heat.
• When pan and oil are heated, break eggs and place in pan with some separation between eggs.
• When the egg whites begin to turn opaque (about 1 minute depending on how hot your "medium heat" is, pour water into the pan
• Cover the pan tightly
• Cook for 30 seconds before looking at the eggs
• Cover the eggs after checking and cook until the eggs are the desired degree of doneness.

BASTED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat butter until melted; add eggs.
• Fry until white is starting to set.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Add water and cover immediately; some people add less water but I like a little more. The steam will cook the top of eggs; it takes just a minute or so, depending on how well done you like your eggs. Hard will be just like hard boiled eggs, that yellow color.
• I serve these with toast and fried potatoes, just like over easy eggs.

• Place oil or butter in skillet, and heat. Add eggs, and cook til whites are done the way you wish.
• Add water, and cover with a lid. Do not peak or you will loose your steam. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, for medium done eggs.
• Remove to a plate, and add salt, pepper, and cheese if desired.
