Perfect fried eggs with no oil.

Guilt free eggs - no oil or fat for cooking with and soooo simple.


You will need:

• A good non-stick frying pan with a solid base. 
• A pan lid - not necessarily the same size as the frying pan but definitely not larger. (A see through one is best but not essential)
• Kitchen roll
• A silicon, nylon or plastic fish slice

• Place the base on a heat source, I always prefer gas, but at university you have to make do with what you have in your flat/house.   
• Let the pan get very hot, put your hand above the base of it, without actually touching, to gauge how hot it is.  When it is ready it would be a good idea to turn the heat down a little.
• Break your egg into the pan and as it starts to cook, wet a piece of kitchen roll with cold water, squeeze gently so that it doesn't drip but retain a lot of the moisture.  Scrunch it up and place it next to the egg in the pan.  I tend to use two pieces rather than one as it works more quickly.
• Cover both the egg and the wet kitchen roll with the pan lid.  In seconds you will have a beautifully cooked egg with the white set, and a runny yolk.
