Jammy Fried Egg

1.Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until hot but not smoking.

2.Crack the eggs into the skillet, spacing them apart if cooking more than one. Reduce heat to low immediately.

3.Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid. This traps the steam, helping the tops of the eggs cook while keeping the yolks soft.

4.Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set but the yolks are still soft and jammy. Avoid cooking for too long to prevent the yolks from hardening.

5.Carefully remove the eggs from the skillet using a spatula, ensuring not to break the yolks.

6.Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately on warm toast, or as desired.
