Master the art of frying an egg by following these easy steps.

Ingredients

1 large British Lion eg
2 tbsp sunflower oil
Grilled bacon and tomatoes to serve (optional)

Method

Place 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a small frying pan and place over a medium heat.
When the oil is hot, use a knife to crack the shell and tip the egg, straight into the hot fat. Cook over a low to medium heat for 1 minute or until the white is set.
Tilt the pan slightly and use a teaspoon to scoop the surplus hot oil/fat over the top of the egg until the yolk is cooked to your liking.
For over easy eggs, carefully slide a spatula underneath the cooked egg and flip over to cook the yolk for 1 minute.
Once cooked, lift the egg from the pan using a spatula and place onto kitchen paper to drain excess fat. Serve with a slice of buttered toast or rashers of grilled bacon and tomatoes.
