Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.25 cups Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a small non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a small bowl or cup, being careful not to break the yolks.

Step 3

Gently slide the eggs into the hot oil. You can tilt the pan slightly to spoon hot oil over the egg whites for even cooking.

Step 4

Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Let the eggs cook for about 1-3 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

If you prefer your yolks on the firmer side, you can carefully flip the eggs with a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.

Step 7

Remove the eggs from the pan using a slotted spatula, allowing excess oil to drain off.

Step 8

Serve immediately on a warm plate and enjoy your crispy, flavorful huevos fritos.
