Chef reveals 'secret' ingredient that makes fried eggs 'so flavorful' every time
A chef has shared a simple way to upgrade your fried eggs, as using an 'underrated' ingredient will give them an unbeatable flavor and texture that you'll love
Eggs are a breakfast staple not just in the UK, but globally. With countless ways to cook and garnish them, there's always a new taste or topping combo waiting to be savored.
While scrambled, poached, and boiled eggs are tasty, nothing quite hits the spot like a well-cooked fried egg with a golden yolk. If you're looking to spice things up a bit, there's one pantry essential you should toss into the pan before cooking. The culinary experts at Sift and Simmer suggest that adding sesame seeds to your fried eggs will lend them a delightful crunch and a nutty flavor.
These seeds, frequently found in Asian cuisine, give the fried eggs a wonderfully crunchy base. Pair it with some chili oil, and you've got an explosion of flavors, making it a scrumptious alternative for your regular breakfast or brunch.
All you need for this recipe are a few pantry staples. As for the sesame seeds, you can use either white or black ones, or even a mix of both, reports the Express.
These eggs aren't just perfect for breakfast - they'd also make a delicious topping for a rice or noodle dish you've whipped up for dinner. Here's how you can whip them up at home.
Sesame Fried Eggs.
Warm a frying pan over low-medium heat. Toss in sesame seeds and toast for about 30 seconds, then drizzle the vegetable oil over the sesame seeds.
Crack eggs over the sesame seeds and cover the pan with a lid, leaving a small gap for steam to escape. Allow the eggs to sizzle for about four to five minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
When they're cooked to your liking, use a spatula to gently lift them from the pan. Plate them up and garnish with additional sesame seeds or a drizzle of chili oil, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
