Basted Eggs

5.0(5)

Rudy loves these eggs basted hard. They are a cross between poached and fried. You can cook them to your preference; I like basted soft myself, served with toast. You need a fry pan with a lid, glass is best, so you can watch for doneness.

serves

1 tablespoon butterbutter
2 eggsegg
1/2 teaspoon saltsalt
1/2 teaspoon pepperpepper
1/4 cup waterwater

Instructions (5 steps)

01Heat butter until melted; add eggs.
02Fry until white is starting to set.
03Salt and pepper to taste.
04Add water and cover immediately; some people add less water but I like a little more. The steam will cook the top of eggs; it takes just a minute or so, depending on how well done you like your eggs. Hard will be just like hard boiled eggs, that yellow color.
05I serve these with toast and fried potatoes, just like over easy eggs.
