How to Make Basted Eggs
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Gently crack 2 large eggs into the pan.
- Cook for about 30 seconds, or until the egg whites begin to set around the edges.
- Season immediately with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Add 1 tablespoon of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid (glass is best for monitoring).
- Cook for 1-3 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. For soft basted eggs, cook for 1 minute. For hard basted eggs, cook for 3 minutes. The steam will gently cook the tops of the eggs.
- Hard basted eggs will have a fully cooked, firm yolk, similar in texture to a hard-boiled egg.
- Carefully slide the basted eggs onto a plate and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as toast and fried potatoes.
