Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Once the oil is shimmering but not smoking, crack the eggs gently into the skillet, ensuring they are not too close together.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the eggs cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Alternatively, if you prefer the yolks more set, cover the skillet with a lid for the last minute of cooking.
Once cooked to your preference, carefully remove the eggs with a spatula and transfer them to a plate.
Season the eggs with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving, and enjoy your Paleo Huevo Frito immediately.
