The Best Fried Eggs...EVER. [View all]

[trof]

When I was a boy, grandpa made Sunday breakfast.
It's the only meal he cooked and the only time I ever saw him cooking in granny's kitchen.

He'd make about a pound of sausage into patties and fry 'em up in granny's big cast iron frying pan.
The buttered bread would be in the oven, making toast.

Into the sausage grease he'd crack eggs.
Two at a time.
(It was a big frying pan.)

After the whites had 'set', he took a big spoon and 'basted' the tops until the yolks were just cooked.
Sunny side up.
Topped 'em with a little salt and pepper.
We called 'em 'sop-eggs' because you sopped up the yolks with the toast.
They had little flecks of the sausage 'leavins' on them.

DAMN they were good.
I did not say they were necessarily good FOR you.


And that's the way I fry eggs to this day.
YUM!
