Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil covers the skillet in a thin layer.
Once the oil is hot but not smoking, gently crack an egg into a small bowl or cup. Hold the bowl close to the surface of the skillet and slide the egg into the hot oil. Repeat with the second egg.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the eggs cook undisturbed until the edges are crispy and the whites are fully set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, sprinkle them with freshly ground black pepper and paprika to taste. Avoid adding salt to keep it low sodium.
Once the eggs are done to your preference, remove them from the skillet using a spatula.
Transfer the huevo frito onto a plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your low-sodium huevo frito with a slice of whole grain bread or on top of a salad for a delicious meal.
