Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) chili crisp with oil
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) additional oil or butter , if needed (optional)
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  • Heat skillet on medium high heat. Add chili crisp to the pan (If desired, add additional oil or butter to the pan before cracking the eggs). Don't let the chili crisp burn!

  • As soon as you have heated the pan and added the chili crisp oil, then immediately crack the eggs on top.

Or open up your windows.

  • Fry the eggs until edges are crispy and center whites are set. Season the eggs if needed after tasting. Sometimes the chili crunch might not be seasoned enough (our recipe has some soy sauce in it so it should be perfect.)
