Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and let the eggs boil for 10 minutes.
Once boiled, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs gently, ensuring the surface remains smooth and intact.
Using a sharp knife, slice each egg in half lengthwise.
In a small bowl, mix the salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder together to create a seasoning mix.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the cut sides of the boiled egg halves.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
Place the seasoned eggs in the skillet cut-side down and fry for 2-3 minutes until the edges turn golden and slightly crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
Flip the eggs carefully and fry the rounded sides for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy!
