How to Cook an Egg (Runny Yolk!)

Step-by-step tutorial on how to cook an egg runny-yolk style! 8 minutes, simple methods, PERFECT eggs every time!

Total: 8 min
1 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp avocado oil ((or other neutral oil with high smoke point))
  • 2 large eggs ((farm fresh, organic, pasture-raised whenever possible))
  • Seasonings to taste ((e.g. sea salt + black pepper // optional))

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add just enough oil to coat the pan, then carefully wipe with a paper towel to remove excess. You want the pan oiled but no oil sitting in the pan (this makes the eggs bubble).

  2. 2

    Crack egg(s) in pan and cook for 3 minutes uncovered (add seasonings — optional — at this time). This allows the whites to partially cook and the yolk to begin cooking slightly.

  3. 3

    Then cover with a lid in the last 1-2 minutes to help the whites cook while the yolk stays soft for a “sunny side up” with cooked whites.

  4. 4

    Serve immediately! Best when fresh. See serving options linked above!
