How do you make a basted eggs?

Basting eggs is a technique used to create eggs with a creamy yolk and a soft, pillowy white. Here's how to make basted eggs:

Ingredients:

* Eggs

* Butter or oil

* Salt and pepper (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare your pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon or two of butter or oil.

2. Crack the eggs: Crack the eggs directly into a bowl or ramekin to make sure you don't accidentally break the yolks.

3. Add the eggs to the pan: Gently pour the eggs into the hot pan. Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will make it harder to baste.

4. Baste the eggs: As the whites start to set around the yolk, use a spoon to gently lift the edges of the whites and pour the hot butter or oil over the top of the eggs. This will create a soft, fluffy texture.

5. Cook to your desired doneness: Continue basting for about 1-2 minutes, or until the whites are cooked to your liking and the yolks are still soft and runny. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve immediately: Transfer the eggs to a plate or toast and enjoy immediately.

Tips:

* Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked basted eggs will have tough whites and a rubbery texture.

* Use a good quality butter or oil: This will enhance the flavor of the eggs.

* Don't overcrowd the pan: This will make it harder to baste the eggs evenly.

* Be gentle when basting: Don't stir or flip the eggs too much. This will break the yolks.

Variations:

* Add herbs: Add fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or basil to the pan for extra flavor.

* Make poached eggs: Use a similar basting technique to make poached eggs. Instead of using a pan, poach the eggs in a pot of simmering water.

Enjoy your delicious basted eggs!
