Egg technique no poking

[leechlake]

Nothing like a fishing or hunting trip to add another trick to the cooking arsenal.  Last weekend my buddy Harry made sunny side eggs that were really good.  Here's how:

Heat the pan at a really low temp, about where it just barely melts a pad of butter real slow.  Once the butter melts put the eggs in and just let them cook until they are done.  It may have taken 6 minutes or something like that.  The whites end up real tender and the yolks are spot on too.  You just eyeball it and they get done on time, safely, and within budget!

pretty close to what I do to baste an egg or 3  i use a spray and crack and dump eggs in the pan. cover and then a little water after a bit. best eggs ever if you like them runny.

 

To steam baste an egg, first heat 2 teaspoons butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low, until hot. Then, crack a pasteurized egg into a custard cup or small bowl. Now gently slide the egg into the melted butter, and cook about 30 seconds. When the edges of the egg turn white, add 1 tablespoon water to the pan.

My eggs have to be runny,  that's what toast is for. Didn't know bout the water trick, but always cook ours low and slow. Breakfast  Meat on the other hand, fast and furious to make sure to splatter up the kitchen.

I like my eggs exactly as stated above. Nice and tender and runny yolks. I hate to sound like a egg snob, but when their fried crisp or have brown on the bottom, that's not for me. Grandma used to fry in bacon grease and spoon the grease over the yolks. I also have a poaching pan that steams the eggs which makes excellent mcmuffins.

Heat pan with a slab of butter.  Put toast in toaster but do not drop.  Have bacon or sausage almost done in another pan.  Crack eggs in egg pan when butter is melted and hot.  Add a splash of water at edge of pan and put glass cover on asap.  Drop toast.  By the time the egg yolks turn slight pink they are done.  Plate now.  Toast will then pop up.  Butter it.  Plate sausage or bacon that is now done and in pan with heat turned off or already on paper towel degreasing.  Perfect everytime. Runny yolks to dunk the toast in.  Also have a glass of tomato juice or orange juice...   A Grandma taught me this sequence.  So simple and works.
