Butter can infuse your fried eggs with rich flavor while allowing them to get extra crispy for a satisfying fried crunch. Use high-quality butter for optimal results.
It’s important to note that unsalted butter will allow you to control your final flavor more whereas salted butter is an extra decadent choice that packs plenty of flavor and fat.
Chili crisp is sesame oil infused with toasted spices, peppers, and MSG. Heat it on a pan and crack your egg over it for a crunchy fried egg packed with smoky flavors.
Alternatively, toast paprika in frying oil before adding the egg for more depth. Add salt, pepper, and a dash of smoked paprika for a slightly smoky, nutty-flavored fried egg.
Using salt and pepper to season your fried eggs makes them extremely versatile, perfect for topping a variety of dishes such as burgers, rice bowls, and avocado toast.
For a hearty flavor, golden brown edges, and extra crispiness, fry eggs in bacon grease warmed in the same pan used for cooking bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
