Basted Egg
A basted egg is a sort of a cross between a sunny side up fried egg and a poached egg. The result is an egg that is fried on the bottom and steamed on the top.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- Salt (optional)
- Pepper (optional)
Steps
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of non-stick spray, butter, or oil of your choice.
- Crack the egg into the pan, and add any desired seasoning (such as salt and pepper).
- Allow the egg to cook only briefly before adding approximately 1 tablespoon of water. Immediately cover the pan with a lid, and allow the egg to cook for 2–3 minutes, depending on how well done you desire the egg.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
