This dish is incredibly simple to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you’re looking for a quick meal or something special to serve guests, these crispy eggs are a surefire hit.
Ingredients:
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornmeal (optional for extra crunch)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional for flavor)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
Prep the eggs: In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
Coat the eggs: In a separate shallow dish, mix the flour, cornmeal (if using), paprika, and garlic powder. In another dish, place the breadcrumbs.
Coat the egg: Dip each egg in the flour mixture first, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, followed by the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Fry the eggs: Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the coated eggs into the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and serve: Once the eggs are crispy and golden, remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately.
Description:
This crispy golden brown egg recipe is the epitome of simplicity and taste. With a golden, crunchy crust and a soft, velvety center, these eggs are a delightful snack or meal. They pair perfectly with a side of fresh veggies, or you can enjoy them as they are, with a dipping sauce of your choice like ketchup, sriracha, or ranch dressing.
Tips
For a more flavorful crust, try adding some grated parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mixture.
You can add herbs like parsley or oregano to the breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
Use a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan for even cooking and a crispy finish.
Be sure not to overcrowd the pan when frying. Fry one or two eggs at a time to ensure they cook evenly and stay crispy.
Variations
Spicy Crispy Eggs: Add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the breadcrumb mixture for a spicy kick.
Cheese-filled Eggs: Before coating, make a small slit in the egg to insert a slice of cheese like cheddar or mozzarella, and then coat and fry as usual.
Vegetarian Option: For a healthier, lighter option, skip the breadcrumbs and use ground oats or crushed nuts for a unique twist.
Corrections
If your coating is coming off during frying, make sure the egg is properly dipped in the flour mixture first before the egg wash and breadcrumbs.
If the eggs cook too fast and the outside is brown but the inside is undercooked, reduce the heat and cook them longer on a lower setting to ensure even cooking.
Enjoy!
