Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 slices crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Roughly chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook gently for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is soft and aromatic but not browned.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Let the parsley oil rest while you prepare the eggs.
In a non-stick skillet, cook the eggs to your preference (fried, scrambled, sunny-side up, or poached). Ensure the yolks remain slightly runny for added flavor and texture.
Place the cooked eggs onto plates or a serving dish. Spoon the warm garlic and parsley oil over the eggs, making sure each portion is evenly coated.
Optional: Serve alongside slices of toasted crusty bread to soak up the flavorful oil.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
