Egg Preparation

Method

Egg Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg

    Place the single farm egg in a small saucepan and cover it with cold water, ensuring there is at least an inch of water above the egg.

  2. 2

    Boil the Egg

    Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid and turn off the heat. Let it sit for 9-12 minutes depending on how well-done you prefer your yolk.

  3. 3

    Cool the Egg

    After the time has elapsed, transfer the egg to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Peel the Egg

    Once cool, gently tap the egg on a hard surface and peel the shell off, starting from the wider end.

Cooking the Egg

  1. 5

    Heat the Butter

    In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the butter and allow it to melt until it bubbles but does not brown.

  2. 6

    Add the Egg

    Slice the peeled egg in half and carefully place the halves cut-side down in the skillet.

  3. 7

    Season the Egg

    Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the egg halves while they cook.

  4. 8

    Cook Until Golden

    Cook the egg halves for about 2-3 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Egg

    Transfer the cooked egg halves to a plate.

  2. 10

    Add Optional Toppings

    Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs and grated cheese, and drizzle with hot sauce if desired.

  3. 11

    Serve

    Enjoy your perfectly cooked single farm egg warm.
