Personal Connection

For a long time, the pan fried eggs I made were very inconsistent. Sometimes the yolk was overcooked, other times the white were too runny. As a result, I wanted to come up with a recipe that I could use to consistently cook the perfect pan fried egg, which in my opinion is a runny yolk with completely cooked white. I liked this recipe because it is very easy, it doesn’t even require flipping the egg because the lid will cause steam to build up and cook the white even without flipping.
