Fry the Perfect Egg in Olive Oil

Can you fry an egg in olive oil? Absolutely! It's not only possible, but also a healthier and tastier choice. Yet we often hear that people fear splattering oil or an overly greasy result. The trick? Use a good quality olive oil and fry at the right temperature. In this blog, we explain step by step how to fry an egg perfectly in olive oil - without splattering and with a delicious taste.

Why fry an egg in olive oil?

Frying in olive oil has many benefits:
✔ Healthy fats - Olive oil contains monounsaturated fats and antioxidants.
✔ Subtle, rich flavor - Extra virgin olive oil adds a delicious Mediterranean touch.
✔ Perfect texture - With the right temperature, you'll get a beautifully cooked egg without drying out or splattering.

Here's how to fry an egg in olive oil without splattering

1. Use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil - This will prevent smoking and provide a delicious flavor.
2.Heat the pan over low to medium heat and use a lid - Too high temperatures cause splattering and can affect the flavor of the oil.
3.Add a splash of olive oil and let it heat up for a while - Don't let it sizzle!
4.Crack the egg into the pan and let it fry gently - This keeps the egg white tender and the yolk nice and soft.
5. Want a crispy edge? Then spoon some hot oil over the egg whites for a nice texture.

💡 Extra Tip: Want an even softer egg? Turn down the heat slightly and cover the pan briefly. That way the egg white will coagulate perfectly without the yolk cooking too quickly.
