How to Make Mimi's Special Fried Eggs

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Crack one large egg gently into the hot skillet. Gently break the yolk with the back of a spoon.
  3. Cook undisturbed until the edges begin to set and the whites are mostly firm.
  4. Using a spoon, carefully baste the egg with the hot bacon grease, spooning it over the top of the egg white.
  5. Continue cooking until the egg white is completely set but the yolk remains slightly runny. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Avoid overcooking! The yolk should still be slightly soft.
  7. Carefully remove the egg from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  8. Season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
