How do you cook a freid egg on open fire?

Materials:

* Open Fire: A campfire, grill, or fire pit.

* Cooking Utensils:

* A small cast iron skillet or frying pan (if possible)

* A metal spatula

* Cooking Oil: Butter, vegetable oil, or lard.

* Eggs: Fresh eggs, preferably at room temperature

Instructions:

1. Prepare the fire: Make sure the fire has a good bed of hot coals. The flames should be mostly subsided, leaving a good amount of embers.

2. Heat your pan: Place your skillet or frying pan over the coals. Allow it to heat up for a minute or two until it's hot enough to sizzle a drop of water when you add it.

3. Add oil: Add a small amount of your chosen cooking oil to the pan. You don't need much, just enough to coat the bottom.

4. Crack the egg: Crack the egg directly into the hot pan. Be careful not to break the yolk.

5. Cook to your liking:

* For a runny yolk: Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the white is set and the yolk is still runny.

* For a medium yolk: Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the white is set and the yolk is slightly firmer.

* For a well-done yolk: Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the white is completely set and the yolk is firm.

6. Flip (Optional): If you prefer a crispy edge, you can flip the egg over for a few seconds once the white is mostly set.

7. Remove from heat: Use a spatula to gently lift the egg and transfer it to a plate.

8. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

* Use a cast iron pan: Cast iron pans are excellent for cooking over an open fire. They heat up quickly and distribute heat evenly.

* Watch your fire: Keep an eye on the fire to ensure the coals don't get too hot. You don't want to burn your egg.

* Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook one or two eggs at a time for best results.

* Use a heat-resistant mat: If you don't have a cast iron pan, use a heat-resistant mat to protect your pan from direct heat.

Enjoy your open-fire fried egg!
