Instructions
1. Heat Your Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet on the stove over medium heat. Allow it to warm up for a minute or two. The key to using water to fry eggs is ensuring you have a good non-stick skillet, as this will prevent the eggs from sticking without the need for oil.
2. Add Water: Once the skillet is warm, add about two to three tablespoons of water to the pan. The amount of water may vary slightly depending on the size of your skillet, but you’ll just need enough to create steam without covering the eggs.
3. Crack the Eggs: Crack the eggs directly into the skillet over the water. It’s fine if the water spreads and mixes with the egg whites; this will help in cooking them evenly.
4. Cover and Cook: Place the lid on the skillet immediately after adding the eggs. The steam trapped inside will cook the eggs. Let them cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
5. Serve: Once the eggs are cooked, gently slide a spatula under them and lift them from the skillet. Serve immediately. You’ll notice the egg whites are fluffy and tender, with no extra grease.
