How to Make a Crispy Fried Egg With Olive Oil

Eggs are a fantastic option for creating a simple, satisfying meal in a pinch. Our favorite way to eat them also happens to be one of the simplest: fried. The crispy slightly browned edges of the egg whites provide a nice contrast with the warm, runny yolk. We love to serve them over toast, salad, or burgers. Try cooking your eggs in velvety extra-virgin olive oil for additional flavor.
