  1. Place a non-stick frying pan over a low-medium heat and add a teaspoon of the oil.
  2. Once the oil is heated enough (around 10-20 seconds) carefully break the egg into the hot oil.
  3. If it starts to bubble and spit a lot turn down the heat.
  4. While it's frying, scoop up some of the oil now and then with the spatula or a teaspoon pouring (basting) it over the yolk.
  5. Continue to fry until the white is set and the yolk is covered with a white film and cooked to your liking.
  6. When ready, turn off the heat and remove from the pan onto a warm plate, or directly onto a roll or slice of toast, however you are serving it.
