Crispy lace edges • Golden bottom • Buttery aroma • Rich, runny yolk

Introduction

Restaurant-style crispy fried eggs look simple, but the flavor and texture are on another level — golden, frilly edges, a tender white, and a perfectly runny yolk. What makes them special is not just heat, but the infused oil: garlic, herbs, and a touch of butter that add incredible aroma. This upgraded version brings that same high-end restaurant technique into your own kitchen in just 5 minutes. Whether served over toast, rice, potatoes, or a hearty breakfast plate, these flavor-boosted crispy eggs will instantly elevate any meal.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1 tbsp olive oil (or neutral oil like canola)

• Salt, to taste

• Freshly cracked black pepper

Optional Flavor Boosters (Restaurant Style)

• 1 small clove garlic, smashed

• 1 sprig thyme or rosemary

• A pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes

• A small dash of soy sauce (adds amazing umami!)

• Extra pat of butter (added at the end)

Instructions

1. Heat the pan properly (very important)

• Preheat a small nonstick or stainless-steel pan over medium-high heat.

• Add the olive oil first — it raises the smoke point.

• When the oil shimmers, add the butter.

• The oil-butter combo helps create perfect crispiness.

2. Infuse the flavor

• Add the smashed garlic and sprig of thyme or rosemary.

• Let them sizzle for 15–20 seconds to perfume the oil.

• Do not let the garlic burn.

3. Fry the eggs

• Crack the eggs into the pan.

• Tilt the pan and gently spoon the hot oil/butter over the whites for 10–15 seconds.

• This creates the signature crispy, frilly edges.

• Reduce heat to medium and cook to desired doneness:

  • Runny yolk: 1.5–2 minutes

  • Medium yolk: 3 minutes

4. Boost the flavor like a chef

• Season with salt and pepper as the whites finish cooking.

• Add ½ teaspoon soy sauce to the pan and let it bubble for 3–5 seconds — it becomes a brown-butter umami drizzle.

5. Serve

• Slide eggs onto a plate.

• Drizzle with the flavored butter from the pan.

• Finish with smoked paprika, chili flakes, or extra herbs.

• Serve immediately over toast, rice, potatoes, or anything you like.
