Olive Oil Fried Egg Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring broth or water to a simmer. Stir in the polenta and salt. Simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened to taste, 10 to 20 minutes. Stir in butter and pepper; cover pot to keep warm.
• Using a vegetable peeler, slice cheese into slivers, or grate it on largest holes of a box grater.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil until very hot. Fry 4 eggs until edges are crispy and yolks still runny. Repeat with remaining oil and eggs.
• Pile polenta into 4 bowls and top with cheese and then fried eggs. Garnish with sea salt and more pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Pour 1/8 inch of oil into a small skillet. Heat over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute. Crack eggs into skillet; season with salt. Cook, tilting skillet slightly and spooning oil over eggs repeatedly, until whites are puffed slightly, crisp and golden brown along edges, and just set but yolks are still wet, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium (10-inch) cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high until it ripples like the ocean. (This can take 2 to 2 1/2 minutes).
• Crack the eggs into the pan. To minimize splatters and spreading, open the shell near the oil (not from high up), and slowly let the egg pour out of the shell. Leave the eggs untouched until the edges are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Gently tilt the pan towards you, spoon up some of the oil, and baste just the whites and edges of the yolk until the whites are set, about 1 minute. (Avoid the yolk so that it stays runny). Turn off the heat, season with salt and pepper, then transfer the eggs to plates using a spoon or slotted spatula.

Steps:

• For the sauce: Combine the oil, parsley, almonds, paprika, salt, pepper, tomatoes, red peppers and garlic in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• For the eggs: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the bread on a baking sheet. Brush the bread with 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Toast in the oven until toasted and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1 1/2 cups olive oil in a large nonstick saute pan set over medium heat. Crack 4 of the eggs into the pan making sure each egg has enough room for the white to spread out. Fry the eggs and, using a spoon, carefully baste them with the olive oil to cook the tops. Cook until the edges of the whites start to get golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 4 eggs.
• Lay 2 pieces of toast on a plate and top each with a fried egg. Season the eggs with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and finish with a heaping spoonful of the Spanish pantry sauce. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil, harissa paste, hot pepper relish, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt in small bowl to blend. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature and rewhisk before using.)
• Preheat broiler. Rub toast slices on 1 side with peeled garlic clove, then place 1 toast on each of 4 plates.
• Heat remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Break eggs into skillet; sprinkle lightly with salt. Cook until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; sprinkle mozzarella cheese over eggs. Place skillet under broiler and broil just until cheese melts and centers of yolks are still slightly runny, about 2 minutes. Carefully place 1 egg atop each toast slice. Spoon harissa sauce over eggs. Scatter parsley leaves over and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet (a 10" skillet is perfect for 2 eggs) over medium-high. When oil is shimmering, carefully add eggs one at a time, shaking pan gently after each addition. Cook eggs, shaking pan occasionally to keep them from sticking to each other (a rubber spatula can help nudge them apart if needed), until edges are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully tilt skillet toward you so that oil pools at front edge of pan. Spoon hot oil over egg whites, especially anywhere they are still translucent, while avoiding yolks, until whites are set, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to blot oil; season with salt and pepper.
