Why fry an egg? Frying an egg is a simple and delicious way to start your day. Here's a unique tip: use a teaspoon of olive oil instead of butter or vegetable oil. The olive oil will give the egg a much richer flavor. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and pour in the olive oil. Crack an egg into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and let it cook for about two minutes. Gently flip the egg over and cook for another two minutes. Serve your fried egg with toast or your favorite breakfast side. Enjoy!
