How to Fry an Egg (the extra-crispy method)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2016
- When I'm frying an egg, I want it to taste fried with crispy brown edges. Here's how to fry an egg with a runny yolk, set whites, and crispy edges. The secret is plenty of oil, a hot pan, and basting.
Here's the recipe: www.seriouseats.com/2016/06/ho...

Man that quote in the beginning is upsetting. I love crispy fried eggs.
Worth noting that Marco White is basically the entertaining asshole that Gordon Ramsey built most of his image around lol
Or more specifically - Gordon Ramsay figured out that overblowing the chef stereotypes MPW have popularized to the point of self-parody is very profitable
Marco is an elitist douche bag. Make your food how you like it. Fuck what that fake Italian says
@@jackhicks1765 someone's a bit salty over there
@@jackhicks1765 Hes right though
You missed the part where Marco asks you to add Knorr stock pot
LOL
Imagine Dragonites underrated comment
Haha. You read my mind
Never gets old!
“You can add 1, but i prefer to add 2”
I love how you added the "Carry on serving your disgusting food" from Marco's quote, to your own quote.
i admire Marco's cooking but he can be a pretentious prick at times when it comes to simple stuff like this. Cooking eggs is a preference meal, some like it smooth, or scrambled, or poached, or hardboiled, or whatever.
@@JBrander yup. if I fry an egg i make sure its crispy
@@JBrander yeah eggs are universal and thus different everywhere. Marco can stfu
@@JBrander Isnt that book very old now? Nowadays marco would say:" its your choice."
@@JBrander picture perfect egg sucks, disgusting is the damn right word
Just made this while being a home alone 14 year old with no cooking experience and a hungry stomach. Went perfectly, surprisingly. Tastes real good too.
Enjoy your eggs, good job!
Nice job ! Cooking is a hobby I picked up when I was your age because I was bored at home a lott. Dunno if you like it that much to keep going but I recommend trying out some of Kenji’s other videos, if you have some of the ingredients at home.
Nice job 👍🏼

When I was a kid, my dad would fry bacon, then he would do the eggs in all the glorious bacon fat. We called it deep fried eggs. I used to think it was because he didn't want clean up the pan in between, but now I know he was a genius. Mmmmmm... Deep fried eggs :^P ~~~
Scott Stephen that's what I do. Yum
Eric Kennedy i would do this with sausage fat too
Your dad was lazy
Laziness is the mother of ingenuity after all.
This is the way I learned. Lol
Grew up in a Portuguese household and literally just found out this week that not everybody frys their eggs like this at home, and was baffled

I'll stick to scrambled my good sir I will say the only way I'll eat a fried egg is on a sandwich
i only know how to fry eggs in a wok and in high heat lol
Wait you’re Asian?.. I’d have never guessed Minh-Quan Nguyen.
This is exactly the way my mom made fried eggs, because she was usually in a hurry working 12 hours a day. Still for me the best fried egg ever. Growing up and hearing from chefs how it's all wrong is funny
How come they call bland jelly rubber thing fried egg 🥲 and they call themselves chefs. More like pretentious ppl wanting jt to just be perfect for instagram not caring about the taste
@@kittenmimi5326 A fried egg by chef standards should be tender, not rubbery. BTW: calling chefs pretentious is just incorrect.
@@emilalthey are pretentious and arrogang if they act like their way is objectively correct above all else
That’s how my mom cooked sunny side up eggs and I love it. Even after finishing culinary school where I learned dozens of ways to cook an egg (egg cookery is usually the first thing they teach you) this is still my favorite one where the sides are toasted and crispy.
I think most people are missing the fact that you were quoting someone in the beginning...I did too, to be honest...but I think it's cause we weren't really listening!
You think? Nigga he says "TO QUOTE MARCO PIERRE WHITE"
YyyYOoOu ThHiNnNK? NNNIIIGGGAAAH he says, "TToO QqQuUoOOtTTeEEe MmMAarcCoo pPPiiEeRrReEE WwhHiIItTTeeEe"

He doesn’t explicitly end the quote, so it’s confusing.
Marco Pierre White can take his egg advice and shove it where the sun don’t shine lmao
I know you're busy on serious eats but man, you need to do more videos. Tried this out this morning and did the smashed burgers for dinner and while I feel like I need a cardiologist, it was extremely satisfying.
My dad used to fry his eggs this way in bacon fat. I do the same. Thank you dad showing me a few life skills I use today.
"You just want poached eggs with hollandaise" I feel so personally attacked.
lol
Me also, but I do like poached eggs. Still, I realy like JKLA's opinion against the great MPW.
he's right tho lol
@@JS2123-m9x He is. That's what made it hurt more
Well cuz that ain’t how you fry eggs
This is how I do it, but I fry the egg after I've finished the bacon and potatoes, so the egg soaks up all the ultra crispy potato and seasoning. It looks horrifying and so, so wonderful.
this is how my dad cooked eggs when I was growing up and when I go back, still makes em this way. best way to fry an egg
Yes, I agree with JKLA 100%. I love, love, love the crispy brown bit around the edge of the egg. I want the white to be cooked (set) but the yolk to be runny. I find the best way to do that is to spoon the oil (in my case, butter) over the top as I cook it quickly. Thanks for sharing. Yay!
No bs intro, no bs fluff. Just straight to the point. Hope every video on UA-cam is like this.
Bravo.
This is how they do it in Spain. I love the bubbles the oil makes on the egg, and flowing egg yolk - yum!
I really dislike how so many chefs are so arrogant. I don't know if Marco Pierre meant that as a joke but everyone should cook their food the way they like it. That sort of snobbery is one of the reasons why people are afraid to learn cooking.
He's just a shill :p
You mean the way that tastes good in the end... unless you're not letting anybody else try it then cook it however you want
@@kittenmimi5326 You mean tastes good to you. Tastes differ, what tastes good to you could taste like garbage to another. Everybody had their own preference for texture, and style of cooking.
This is why I love your videos Kenji, whether the new quarantine ones or these old ones, you cook food honestly and your first priorities are flavor and technique unlike the snobby "top" chefs or people who are too pesky about ingredients and amounts :D
Casa Lucio, that's the restaurant where even the king of Spain went sometimes to eat a fried egg. I think that technique is a home adaptation of how they cook eggs in that restaurant. In fact that's the way my father told me how to fry eggs, but the only downside is that the kitchen gets a bit oily xd. Great video Kenji, even though I'm 4 years late
Here in Spain if the egg has not "Puntilla" (Which is how we call the crispy brown egg white) its not fried (frito) but inestad we call it "a la plancha" which is the technique to cook meat in a regular kitchen pan (Because you use too little oil or no oil at all). I love cooking and if you want a quick recipe from Spain try the "Huevos rotos con chistorra"... If you cant manage to get chistorra just go with bacon and it will be great too! :D. Btw i know my grammar is not good but im still learning english so feel free to tell me what i did wrong! :D
The way Marco describes cooking fried eggs is almost like lightly poaching them in butter.
I've done them that way and they way you're doing them right now and they both have their upsides and down.
Cooking an egg so low and slow in a pan with butter gets you an incredibly silky tender egg white and a custardy yolk that's just started to thicken. There is no textural interest from the egg beyond that, but it tastes incredibly rich, if I want crunch when doing an egg like this then I have it on some crisp toast. Your method gets you the crispy edges however, and for something like a bacon and egg sandwich I love crispy egg white edges.
The slow 'fry' method is definitely not like poaching however, eggs poached in water always taste somewhat diluted and insipid to me no matter how well drained they are, in water with a slight amount of acid there is a bounciness to the white that I am not a big fan of. Also despite it being in water it is less gentle than the low temp control you can get with a dry cooking method, you're basically setting eggs sitting in butter in a bain marie with the incredibly low heat 'frying' method Marco advocates, so you're getting a barely-set egg at the end, all the way through, yet still evenly hot throughout. So for me, this method isn't like having eggs poached at all.
Marco's aversion to any amount of toughness or crispiness of egg white might have something to do with his time spent with French chefs of the 60s like Albert Roux who, in the video series with his brother, seemed notorious for his aversion to crispy egg, and seemed to consider it risque when his brother brought up having even a slight amount of colour on the outside of an omlette. - and despite his being touted as a visionary of new horizons in his heyday, has seemed steadfastly traditionalist and old-fashioned when it comes to cooking methods. Almost like the Young Pope of gastronomy.
Stupid why u wasted your life writing this lol go get a life
Interesting, thanks for writing
This is a UA-cam video, no need for an essay
@@louaysoliman yeah right lol
@Nosferatu Zodd i dont know you can handle kitchen stuff
Can you cook femto while youre at it?
Just found your UA-cam challenge and honestly I have tried making most of the foods you have uploaded. Today I tried these eggs in the morning after a run and they were amazing, thank you
Exactly how Grandma used to make em.
Rip BOZO! 🤣💀🪦👵🏻
I saw your reflection wave in the oil. And crispy eggs are delicious!
My Brazilian grandma adds the heapest tablespoon of salty zebu cow butter to a piping hot pan. When the butter stops sizzling (which means water has evaporated), she adds the egg. Tastes amazing with crispy, salty browned butter edges. That’s how most people do it around here. Sometimes with manteiga da terra, a type of clarified butter made by gently boiling double cream for a long time, but the ordinary zebu butter tastes better.
I never liked ANY crispy bits in a fried egg until I took up cooking during Our Year of the Rona, and now I’m hooked. I cook them this way, probably at least four days a week. Also really enjoying rosemary on them! Even crazier.. small drops of hot sauce. Plowing through the eggs!
Thanks Kenji! Just used your method and had the best fried eggs I’ve ever made. I’m never going back.
I just tried this. Thank you for the delicious recipe
that's a beautiful egg yolk
Get up, get up! What's that in the sky? Could it be? It's KKB!
kenji has been living in oakland (i think), where people can have a chicken in there backyard (again, i think. a friend of mine does, at least.) we cooked breakfast there using his fresh eggs that hadn't been refrigerated and they had same beautiful, orange colored yolk. when i've traveled to places that don't refrigerate their eggs, i notice they also have that orange color. is it america's refrigerated egg policy that causes them to turn more yellow?
It's the feed.
Legit, omega-3 enriched eggs are super orange like this - probably whatever they feed those chickens has more beta-carotenes too.
Backyard eggs with a rooster around does that
This is how I always cook an egg 🍳 on breakfast. I'm glad I'm one of those who cook it the delicious way
you've descended once more to this mortal realm. oh prometheus, bless us with your wisdom.
Fried eggs are the best dropped into bacon grease until they are crispy around the outer edges.
Sure, if you want to die from a heart attack by the time you're 37.
moderation
@@arkle519 I'm guessing you are the kind of person with no self control who just eats himself to death if you don't arbitrarily limit what you're allowed to put in your mouth. Otherwise you make no sense.
I just got done doing that, and holy shit that was the best fried egg i have ever had.
This video is how I first came across Kenji. 😊 And then I discovered the late night eats videos. Magnificent
OMG that was the best fried eggs I've ever had! Thank you so much!
Nice video. A better way to do it will be with a round bottom wok. The oil pools at the bottom of the wok, and the egg drops in the middle of the hot oil and the white cooks immediately with slightly crisp edges. Spooning the hot oil over the yolk is also easier with a round bottom wok, because the oil is pooling in a more concentrated area. Canola oil works well... no need for butter which burns easily at high temperature.
Nelson Tan ha, I make ours in a wok almost all the time these days....thought I was being inventive...lol
Nelson Tan was
Better than the whole video tbh. Ty
Are you going to bust out a wok everytime you fry an egg in the morning? Be real.
Remember: just because something is elegant or high class does not mean it is the best. People look down on street food, for example, yet it is in essence the soul of a culture
Agree, in the UK some chicken shops are better than KFC even.
growing up in the Philippines, everyone cooked their eggs like this. So good!
Fried eggs without crispy edges are a failed, incomplete attempt at frying an egg. Thank you for showing the way!
lmao nearly hit dislike for that opposite quote in the beginning. I bet 50% of the dislikes hit the button and closed the video before they seen more than 30 seconds of it

@@benjamindover4521 I can say bigot
I'm Thai, and I like my fried egg super crispy with runny yolk. And I make it perfect EVERY TIME.
Here's how:
You have to use round bottom pan, a wok if u must, non-stick is easier. Use more oil than that, about 3 time the volume of the egg. Highest heat, almost smoking. Carefully crack an egg in and RUN AWAY!!
And all the works end there. Next thing, you have to wait for it to crisp up and take it on to a plate.
Duck or chicken? There's a difference.
Duck egg, which I prefer, will be crispy on the white and runny at the yolk just like that. Chicken egg, on the other hand, the yolk will cook faster than duck's, so you have to use cold egg because the yolk will stay runny while the white crisps up.

In the South, the crispy edges are called "Lace on the Panties." This is my favorite way to eat eggs.
Thank you for your lovely compliment. I hope my recipe was able to help you in your cooking
i been cooking eggs like this since i was 7 years old, my grandma thaught me, i thought it was commond practice.
That was the best fried egg I had ever cooked. Thanks Kenji!
Only
that looks so good wtf
This is it, everybody. Every single time I eat this I'm amazed by how good it tastes, it's incredible
0:55 Kenji thinks we study cooking and watch his videos because we are chefs like him..
We actually watch cuz we're high af at 3am with the munchies lmao
I did this by accident once (added too much olive oil) and it turned out so perfect that I have been doing it ever since
I've been watching my grandmother make eggs like this since I could remember.
**waves back**
That’s the way my Mum taught me, all the other ways look anaemic to me.
Exactly how my grandma made it back in 2003. Doing that with farm eggs too, so good!
This is how how my mum had been frying eggs since I can remember and now I cook them the same way. It's the best way to eat eggs and the oil is fine for you as long as you're not cooking everything you eat in oil.
Kenji if you make videos like this weekly you could make a good bit of money, there is an audience for this kind of thing on youtube!!
I don't understand why they don't, serious eats has to be the only reliable source of recipes (only those writen by Kenji) on the whole god damn web.
Taha Firoz only so many hours in the day...
@@JKenjiLopezAlt I can't help but feel like this was some kind of prophecy....
A decade ago, I was in awe of Marco Pierre White, Gordon Ramsay and just anyone on the television circuit, but the more I learn about the culinary world as an amateur and delve deeper, I find it disgusting that Ii held them in any regard in the first place. To me now they are just pretentious showmen who have for long encouraged an environment of toxic abuse in kitchens and set arbitrary standards that only a food critic's palate would find palatable. It maddens me when they write about anything as though their authority on the subject supercedes that of chefs who have tried and tested food that appeals to the wider general populis rather than appeal to a figment of the society that has pockets lined with gold.
Enjoy what you like, my friends. Crispy fried eggs or poached, flavor is in everything. Except the shell.
We've finally done it, boys. Gordon Ramsay is no more.
@@thereccher8746 ?? Are you serious? You have Marco and Gordon inverted lol.
Gordon has released entire TV series where he travels entire countries learning to cook from different cultures. His recipes aren’t pretentious - the way he makes, for example, a slow cooked pork belly is all about maximising flavour. What you define as over salting and over oiling, others would describe as adding flavour.
Not to mention, Ramsay has shown time and again he is more than the crazy angry lunatic he is on Hell’s Kitchen. I feel like your rejection of Ramsay is defined by that image of him - in shows like Kitchen Nightmares or Masterchef he has a clear human touch that might be obscured if all you view of him is Hell’s Kitchen. Anyways, agree to disagree
@@thereccher8746 Are you fucking insane? You can criticize his TV persona but the man has literally eaten ant chutney with tribes in eastern india. He truly does care about food, and certainly doesn't "butcher people's culture".
This looks delicious woah I’m gonna try that right now
yup, i've seen egg that way before...in my mom's kitchen a good part of 20 years. yummiest thing to have.
This is how my mom cooked us fried eggs. Growing up I thought that's how everyone did it then I got older an found out people didn't do this method at all. I still prefer this method though.
I mean it makes sense and it tastes a bit better, but then again using half a litre oil for every egg you make in your life seems kinda excessive in the long run which is probably why most people wont make it a routine. If I was tasked to make breakfast for the girl i fell in love with, I'd spare no cost and effort to even get the last 1% taste out of my egg. But just for myself every morning I'd just stick with the minimal approach. At the end of the day it's still egg and it's still gonna taste like egg.
Why Kenji is a legend is that he calls out the greats on their mistakes. Fired egg is a fried egg after all. Thank you.
Kenji, I've been watching you for a while but have just started with some of your older videos - like this one.
I have to say, your non-apologetic attitude in videos like this is awesome! I know you need viewers to make money off these videos.
BUT, it was nice to see you give a professional chef's honest opinion... and say something sucks!
The reason our country is failing right now is that we're no longer allowed to tell someone is wrong (based on subject matter expertise) without being blamed as the bad-guy for hurting their feelings.
You misunderstood the video. I’d don’t say anything sucks. I was quoting Marco Pierre White, who I think is completely wrong for putting down other people for liking things he doesn’t like.
The reason our country is having problems right now has absolutely nothing to do with people not being allowed to be mean to each other, and entirely because of lack of empathy and understanding (also, unbridled capitalism).
I also don’t need to make money off these videos, nor do I make any of my professional decisions based on money.
Like Ramsey says. Color is flavor. Well done.
“carry on serving your disgusting food” i’m stealing it.
That’s how my wife makes me eggs in the morning: medium heat and bastes the egg with the oil. They come out perfect: solid egg whites, runny yolk, hardly any golden color or bubbles.
I’m a lucky man
Great video thank you! One thing, whenever I use high heat the eggs tend to stick even with oil. Thoughts?
The only cooking video I can get up RN and actually make lol
Lol those last sentences hit me hard 1:46
This is how they eat it in spain!
you perfectly showed how everyone on the world does a fried egg! Congrats!
I accidentally did it one time and It turned out very good I have been doing this ever since
Maan... I once knew nothing about frying anything, that I once deep fried an egg...
Yes the egg was literally swimming in hot oil!
Thank you! I love my over easy eggs with some texture, on all the cooking shows they get blasted for having any color on the egg. I didn't realize "culinary level" eggs meant mushy old people food.
man that quote pretty hit me hard lmao, i liked when my eggs actuallt just simple completely cooked with crisp in the skirt, there is lot of way to cook an egg, just make how you Like your egg prepared, no need to say other people food disgusting just because they use different way than how you make em.
I like my sunny sides very crisp, what i do is that i also get my pan hot so when i put the egg in you hear all the sizzle, i leave it for about 45-55 seconds to where the whites start turning a bit brown but i do not put the oil on the top of the egg since i don't like the yolk getting cooked, i instead grab a plastic spatula and turn the egg (which is very very tricky to do without having the yolk breaking) and leave it for 5 seconds and take it out, the whites are crisp and brown but the yolk is still very runny and delicious, that is the only thing i can cook better than my mom
It amazes me how many different ways an egg can be fried and everyone thinks their way is the only/best way. You'd die if you saw the way I fry mine... cook your eggs the way you like it and then eat them and let everyone else do the same.
@Andy Arexx-Siharath Kenji was being a bitch about how other people cook their eggs though. I found it funny how much it bothered him. Its not like they are going in his mouth. 😂
romariod19 he was making a joke based on what Marco Pierre White said. Watch the video again carefully you’ll find that he was quoting someone
Now all I need to learn is how to boil water and my breakfast is complete.
Great method I’ll have to give it a try
been doing this since i saw the video. my eggs have never been better. no more scrambled; this is easier and tastes better.

Kenji, big admirer of you here, I have all your books and I call you guru jokingly with friends and family, and, this fried egg is what almost every single Spaniard learns between 14 and 20 years old, check “huevos con puntilla”.
I do agree on this one Kenji.
my grandma cooks like this
just cook eggs with the shells, that way it could become crispy
My Japanese grandmother always made our fried eggs this way. I've proudly carried on that tradition.
Every time i look into fried eggs I always see people do over easy and it doesn't look fried what so ever.. this makes logical sense to the description. I agree with your statement about the similarities to a poached egg in other people's way of cooking it. I'm not saying they are bad but it isn't fried by any means. I thought I was the only one thinking this. Haha
Just watch HowToBasic
Indonesians be like: Rice, noodles, coffee and a ciggy. Mmmmm, the perfect combination for a college student
This is so spot on. A fried egg i just that fried not steamer or slow cooked or what ever. I want that browning good sweet taste
This is how I always did it when I was a kid. At first I did it by accident since I didn't know how to fry an egg but I loved it. I don't like fried egg when the white is very smooth even in burgers.
