Basted Egg
Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1 tsp. unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp. boiling water
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it's foamy but not brown.
- Gently crack the egg into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolk.
- Let the egg white begin to set, then carefully pour the boiling water around the egg in the skillet.
- Immediately cover the skillet with a lid to trap the steam, which will gently cook the top of the egg.
- Cook until the egg whites are fully set but the yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes.
- Using a spatula, carefully remove the egg from the skillet and transfer to a plate. DEVOUR!
