Water-Fried Eggs Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons of water
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh herbs or spices (optional, for garnish)

Equipment:

• Non-stick skillet with a lid
• Spatula

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Skillet:
   • Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and let it warm up for about a minute.
2. Add Water:
   • Add 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet. The water will create steam, which helps cook the eggs without the need for oil.
3. Crack the Eggs:
   • Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet. Try to keep them separate to prevent them from sticking together.
4. Cover and Cook:
   • Immediately cover the skillet with a lid. This traps the steam and allows the eggs to cook evenly.
5. Cook to Desired Doneness:
   • For sunny-side-up eggs, cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
   • For over-easy eggs, cook for 3-4 minutes, then gently flip the eggs and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
   • For fully cooked yolks, extend the cooking time by another minute or so.
6. Season and Serve:
   • Once cooked, carefully remove the eggs from the skillet using a spatula.
   • Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with fresh herbs or spices if desired.
7. Enjoy:
   • Serve immediately and enjoy your oil-free, water-fried eggs!

Tips:

• Use a well-seasoned non-stick skillet to prevent sticking.
• You can experiment with adding a splash of soy sauce or other seasonings to the water for added flavor.
• This method is great for a lighter breakfast or a quick meal without the added calories of oil.

Once you’ve mastered this technique, you might find yourself skipping the oil altogether!
