Frying freshly pressed garlic directly on a frypan under an egg might not be the most effective method. Garlic tends to burn quickly and can become bitter if subjected to high heat for too long. Additionally, the moisture released from the garlic might affect the cooking process of the egg.
However, you can still achieve a similar result by following these steps:
- Heat a small amount of oil or butter in a frypan over medium heat.
- Add the freshly pressed garlic to the pan and sauté it for a brief moment until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Push the garlic to the side of the pan, creating a space in the center for the egg.
- Crack an egg directly into the space you created, allowing it to cook alongside the garlic.
- Cook the egg to your desired level of doneness, either by leaving the yolk runny or fully cooking it through.
By creating separate spaces for the garlic and the egg in the pan, you can control the heat and cooking time for each ingredient, ensuring that the garlic doesn't burn and the egg cooks properly.
Alternatively, you can fry the garlic separately until it's golden and crispy, then sprinkle it over the cooked egg as a flavorful garnish. This method allows you to fully control the cooking process for both the garlic and the egg, resulting in a tasty combination.
