In general, we support the use of pasture-raised eggs. Pasture-raised eggs are produced by hens that have access to outdoor pastures. Due to this, the eggs are bursting with nutrition and flavor. The yolks of the eggs show this by being a vibrant orange and red.
Vital Farms is the distributor of the best eggs we've found so far that come from chickens raised on pasture. Vital Farms collaborates with handpicked farmers all over the USA.
Ingredients
- Butter — Butter provides an extra layer of fat that prevents the eggs from sticking to the pan.
- Eggs are a great source of protein, and fresh eggs are even better. Flavor-wise, pasture-raised eggs are superior to their cage-raised counterparts, and nutritionally, they offer more vitamins and omega-3 fats.
- When you add salt to your eggs, the flavor really pops.
- Add some pepper for some heat.

Methods for Making Perfect Eggs Over Easy
- Melt butter - In a cast-iron or nonstick skillet, melt butter over low to medium heat.
- When the butter is melted and foamy, season the egg with salt and pepper and crack it onto the skillet.
- The recommended cooking time for an egg is two minutes. Use a spatula to flip the egg once the whites have turned from transparent to white and the edges have crisped. Cook for another 30 seconds. Put the egg on a plate and savor it.
To make it easier to flip the eggs, only fry a few at a time when frying them in a pan.

FAQ
Yes These fried eggs have a lot of healthy nutrients, including protein, biotin, iron, vitamins, zinc, and magnesium. Eggs lose their nutritional value if cooked for too long, so be careful not to overcook them. When eggs are cooked for a longer period of time, more of their nutritional value is lost.
The eggs can be cooked in olive oil, too. Instead of margarine, we prefer butter because of its superior flavor.
Simmering water is used to prepare poached eggs. When the white is set but the yolk is still runny, the eggs are removed. Pan-fried eggs are prepared in this way.

- Over Easy Eggs - Eggs cooked for a shorter amount of time than usual, so that the yolk is still very runny.
- Over-hard eggs, which are similar to hard-boiled eggs but have a completely cooked through yolk, are delicious in breakfast sandwiches.

Egg Grades
Eggs are given an AA, A, or B rating by the USDA depending on their overall quality and the condition of their shell. The highest quality, or Grade AA, eggs can be quite pricey, while the more common, or Grade A, eggs are relatively inexpensive. Since AA and A grades are the highest available, they are ideal for any culinary endeavor. Frozen, liquid, or dried egg products typically use Grade B eggs because they don't meet the same standards as Grade AA and A eggs.
