Description
Scallion Fried Eggs are a quick, crispy, and flavor-packed dish made with just a few simple ingredients. The scallions sizzle in hot oil, infusing the eggs with a deep savory taste and golden, lacy edges. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt, to taste
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
Instructions
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and let it heat up.
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and set aside. Prepare the sliced scallions.
- Add oil to the skillet and swirl to coat. Toss in the scallions and cook for 30 seconds.
- Gently pour in the eggs over the scallions, keeping yolks intact.
- Let the whites sizzle and crisp while spooning hot oil over them for even cooking, about 2–3 minutes.
- Season with salt and drizzle with soy sauce or chili oil if desired.
- Serve hot over toast, rice, or as is.
Notes
- Use fresh scallions for the best flavor.
- For spiciness, add chili oil or flakes.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—cook one or two eggs at a time for best results.
- Use a splash guard to prevent oil splatter.
