Fried egg
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Preparing a quick, attractive, and healthy protein breakfast is extremely easy. I suggest a basic and classic fried egg recipe. I fry eggs in butter, but you can use any vegetable oil. You can also add various vegetables, diced bacon, cheese, mushrooms, or sausages. The main thing is to use high-quality and fresh ingredients. A simple yet incredibly delicious dish for the whole family. Serve hot.

Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients from the list. Use large, high-quality eggs. For the omelet to be not only delicious but also visually appealing, it's better to use farm eggs with large, rich yellow yolks. You can substitute butter with vegetable oil.

Step 4
Carefully break the eggs, trying to keep the yolks intact. The secret of fried eggs lies precisely in the whole yolks. After 20-30 seconds, reduce the heat to medium.

Step 5
Slightly salt the eggs, but only the white part, as salt on the yolk will cause unattractive white spots. You can add ground pepper.

Step 6
Fry until the egg white turns completely white and the edges begin to brown. The yolk should remain semi-liquid and bright. To prevent the yolk from developing a whitish film and to preserve its semi-liquid consistency, it's better not to cover the pan with a lid. If you do cover it, do so for no more than 1-2 minutes. Also, do not increase the heat, otherwise the egg will cook too quickly and the yolk will harden.

Carefully transfer the fried egg onto a plate using a wide spatula. Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and fresh herbs. The fried egg is ready.
