Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a small bowl, keeping the yolks intact, and set aside.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, but avoid letting it brown.
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Lower the heat to medium-low and gently slide the eggs into the skillet over the garlic, being careful not to break the yolks.
Season the eggs with salt and ground black pepper.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny (cook longer if you prefer fully set yolks).
Once cooked, carefully transfer the eggs onto a plate using a spatula, making sure to scoop up the crispy garlic.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy with crusty bread or on its own.
