Once I discovered basting eggs, I haven’t turned back! I love the ease of preparing eggs this way. Why do I love basting eggs? No flipping, no guessing if the egg is cooked through, and no crusty bottoms. This is a fool-proof method that makes cooking eggs a breeze.

Butter – Greasing the pan with melted butter before cooking helps the basted eggs not to stick and adds a buttery flavor. You can also use cooking spray or olive oil or even bacon fat. A small amount of oil goes a long way. Eggs – I use large eggs for this recipe. Simple crack one at a time in a bowl and then slowly pour in the uncovered pan or crack them above the heated pan directly. Water – When added to the hot pan, the water creates steam that evenly cooks the tops of the eggs. Just a small amount of water is added to achieve this reaction. Salt and black pepper – Keep it simple with a pinch of sea salt and some ground pepper or add your favorite spices like paprika or, a personal favorite, Everything But the Bagel seasoning.
In place of fried eggs – You can use basted eggs in any recipe where you would use fried eggs. Serve with bacon, sausage, and hash browns for a hearty breakfast. Toast – Eat them on toast or avocado toast. Lay the basted egg overtop the toast and enjoy it handheld or cut up on a plate. Sandwich or burger – Add a basted egg to a burger or sandwich for added protein and flavor. This is always our dad’s favorite way to order a burger at a restaurant. Pizza – Throw a basted egg on a pizza or over a sweet potato hash. Sounds crazy but this is a MUST try meal! Fried rice – Top a bowl of fried rice with a basted egg.
