Equipment
- 1 small frying pan
- 1 pan spatula
- 2 small bowls (optional)
Servings 2 people
Ingredients
- 2 large egg (free range)
- 20 grams butter
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
- salt & pepper (to season)
Instructions
- Place the butter in your pan and gently melt over a low heat
- Once your butter has melted, crack your eggs, being careful to keep the yolks intact, into the pan. If you are not confident doing this, crack your eggs into two small bowls first and then gently pour them into the pan.
- Increase the heat to medium and gently tilt the pan to tease the egg whites towards the edges so that they cook evenly. If needs be, you can use a spatula to carefully spread them further.
- Now leave to cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites go firm.
- If your fried eggs start to spit, lower the heat a little as this means the butter is too hot.
- Once your eggs are cooked, remove from the heat. Season with salt & pepper and top with chilli flakes.
- Either serve in the pan or on top of toasted bread. There is no need to butter your toast because you will have the butter in the pan.
Notes
- The calories for our sahanda yumurta are per person, based on two servings.
- As with all of our recipes, the calories are meant as a rough guide.
- We use a Turkish copper pan to cook our eggs for an even heat. A small non-stick frying pan will be fine if you don't have one of these.
- For reference, our pan is 20 centimetres (8 inches) in diameter.
