Ingredients
Directions
Crack the eggs gently into a cup.
Heat a small skillet over medium-high until very hot. Add the olive oil.
When the oil is hot and bubbly, gently slide the eggs into the skillet (watch out for hot oil splatters!)
Cook the eggs for about 2 minutes, until the white is very crispy around the edges.
Use a spatula to slide or lift the eggs out and place them on a plate. Sprinkle with salt. Add hot sauce, if desired, and eat immediately!

If you've never fried an egg in EVOO — that's Extra Virgin Olive Oil to those in the know — you're missing out. Sometimes referred to as a Spanish egg, they boast edges so crispy and delicate they shatter in your mouth. The whites are soft and pillowy, the yolk warm and runny.
When using this hot and quick method of frying eggs in olive oil, the egg is in and out of the pan in about two minutes. That makes it perfect for busy school days or weekends before you run out for errands. Add a dash of truffle salt or a drizzle of Hot Buffalo Sauce (our preferred topping, natch) and you have a delicious restaurant-worthy egg that's ready before the cereal and milk hits the bowl.
