Simple as a fried egg? Of course, but even such a seemingly banal dish can become special if you follow the advice of a great chef. Carlo Cracco, who has made a culinary philosophy of the egg, explains how to transform even one of the basics of any kitchen into something special (first rule: very fresh eggs!).
Here you will find the recipe for making a perfect fried egg with the advice of the chef, but on the number of The Italian Cuisine of October 2020 we have redone for you (myself who made this article) others 5 famous egg-based recipes from the chef, from marinated egg yolk to crunchy egg yolk.
How to make a perfect fried egg: Carlo Cracco's recipe
«It is an excellent dish but underrated. To do it in a workmanlike manner, here are the little tricks to follow: take one small pan, the right size for an egg, put it on the stove, heat it well and melt it a knob of butter. Always remember to add the salt on the bottom and never above: it is very wrong, it stains the yolk and then it shows. At this point, off the heat, pour the shelled egg and put it back on the flame for 1 minute, so that the egg cooks but remains soft. Finally, slide it onto the plate. For an American breakfast, instead of butter you can add bacon and season with a pinch of pepper and that's it. Otherwise you can grate a little on the egg White truffle. If you have del black truffle, cut it into small pieces and add it to the butter, then remove it, pour in the egg and add it again at the end over the white of the egg white, already on the plate ".
Last trick: for a round and perfect yolk, separate it from the egg white, first cook the white for a few seconds and then gently add the yolk in the center. The yellow will remain in the center of the albumen and the aesthetic effect will be perfect.
