Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (optional)
- 1 loaf Crusty bread (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is warm but not smoking, crack the eggs gently into the pan. Try to keep the yolks intact.
Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle the ground cumin evenly over the eggs, followed by the salt. Add black pepper if desired.
Carefully transfer the eggs to a plate using a spatula.
Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping into the rich yolks and seasoned oil.
