Fried Egg Sarnie 101

How to make the perfect fried egg sarnie....




Ingredients

1 medium free range egg
2 slices of wholemeal bread
Butter
Sunflower oil
Ketchup
Salt and pepper

Method

1. Take a small frying pan and fill it with sunflower oil until the whole base is coated.

2. Set the pan on a medium heat until the oil heats up, you can tell that it's hot enough when a bread crumb sizzles when you drop it in.

3. Crack your egg carefully into the oil being careful not to splash it.

4. Reduce the heat slightly and let the egg begin to bubble. It should take between 2-4 minutes for the white to go opaque. You can butter the bread while the egg is cooking.

5. If the yolk and the centre of the egg is still runny, carefully take a spoon and tip the pan so that you can collect the oil and then drizzle it over the uncooked egg.

6. If you don't like your egg runny you could flip the egg at this point. However if you do like your yolk runny then remove the pan from the heat and place it on a slice of bread.

7. Season with salt and pepper and ketchup if you like. Then enjoy!
