The Best Way to Fry an Egg Every Time

Eggs are one of those rare foods that are appropriate at every meal and on almost every diet, from Keto to Paleo and Whole30 to vegetarianism. With all nine essential amino acids and seven grams of protein, making them one of the best sources available, eggs are an essential part of most people’s culinary routines. And the best way to cook eggs, and perhaps the most classic, is to fry them. While your first instinct may be to slice off a pat of butter to fry an egg, that’s actually not the ideal method. Instead, we recommend using olive oil.

Now, before you balk at this suggestion and point out the health concerns related to frying in olive oil, hear us out. Although olive oil has a relatively low smoke point of 325 to 375°F (165 to 190°C) and degrades more than other oils when exposed to high heat, you’re not going to be deep frying in this oil. In fact, studies show that frying in olive oil is not harmful to your health. Other studies even note that despite preconceptions, this Mediterranean staple actually performs admirably as a frying agent. If, on the other hand, you’re worried about infusing your eggs with the flavor of olive oil, let us assure you, this is a good thing.

How to Fry Your Egg In Olive Oil

When you fry eggs in olive oil, try to have them at room temperature for the best results. Even if they’re still a little chilly, make sure to have them at the ready. Since olive oil heats up quickly it’s only going to be about 30 seconds before you need to crack your eggs into the pan.

Once your eggs are sizzling in the hot oil, watch them carefully. Since oil is a different fat source than butter, the egg whites will get incredibly crispy in no time flat and the yolks will remain runny. Imagine that — no more over-cooked egg yolks! However, this also means that your eggs will cook quickly.

In addition to their texture, the taste of eggs fried in olive oil is also noteworthy. Olive oil gives your eggs a mellow flavor that’s an excellent canvas to which you can add salt, pepper, and a variety of herbs. It also makes your fried eggs great to put on top of a variety of dishes because they won’t have that salty, milky taste that butter leaves behind.

Personally, we think a sprinkle of dill along with a few sea salt crystals and cracked black pepper is all you need to enjoy this delightfully simple dish.

Owala

Gilmore Girls fall—it’s a thing,” Owala’s site reads. “If you’re the kind of person who needs coffee in an IV, we’ve got the mugs for you. Choose from Luke’s Diner or The Dragonfly Inn… or get both. We know Lorelai would.” This collab is already perfection!

Owala

The Gilmore Girls Owala drop honors both The Dragonfly Inn and Luke’s Diner with two super cute cup designs.

The first is a cream white 20-ounce SmoothSip Slider dotted with purple dragonflies. The lid is a bold yellow color fitted with a lavender slider that’s used to conveniently open and close the cup.

Owala

The second 20-ounce SmoothSip Slider flaunts a brown and yellow logo for Luke’s Diner with a color-coordinated lid and slider. We truly can’t pick a favorite!

Both SmoothSip Slider cups feature an insulated stainless steel lining that keeps contents hot up to 6 hours or cold up to 24 hours. The cups are certifiably BPA-free, lead-free, and phthalate-free. The lid on each cup is dishwasher-safe, while the cups themselves should be hand-washed only.

Owala

This upcoming Gilmore Girls collab is part of Owala’s Color Drop program, which means it’s bound to sell out. However, if the drop sells out in an hour or less, it’ll automatically open for backorders, which ship 10-12 weeks after purchase. Previous drops have featured limited-edition water bottle colorways and even a fun Valentine's Day vault.

Gilmore Girlsgave us a glimpse into what it looks like to live with one of Lauren Graham's iconic characters, and her new TV show gives us a look at what it's like to work with one — and TBH, her new character is giving MAJOR Lorelai Gilmore vibes. The Z-Suite, which follows an industry battle between an ad CEO and the social media team who replaces her, is one 2025 TV show TV show you definitely don't want to miss. Not only is the cast stacked, but it promises to be laugh-out-loud funny.

Here's what to expect from Lauren Graham's new TV show The Z-Suite.

'The Z-Suite' is a hilarious look at Gen Z vs. Gen X.

In the new The Z-Suite trailer, we see Lauren Graham's Monica take matters into her own hands when she's fired from an ad agency (and replaced with a slew of Gen Z social media mavens). Determined to prove that she has what it takes to stay in the game, Monica unleashes a brand new campaign — and she's not going down without a fight. "Let the best generation win."

We get a glimpse at the tension between social media vs. traditional work that we're all feeling these days, and while this first look highlights the differences between the two, it also just reminds me that we're all in it together. Only time will tell us whether these two teams will be able to put their heads together.

And Lauren Graham's new character will remind you of her iconic 'Gilmore Girls' one.

I am already loving The Z-Suite, because not only does it feature the kind of workplace chaos that feels right at home in 2025, but Monica also totally reminds me of Lorelai Gilmore. Creating a brand new advertising campaign and fighting her way back to the top? Hello, that has Lor written all over it! (Especially having cheese puffs on hand).

“When I first read the script for The Z-Suite, I responded to Katie O’Brien’s fresh and funny take on the workplace,” Lauren Graham told Deadline. “The character of Monica is smart, strong, and appealingly a bit unhinged. I’m excited to work with the team at Tubi as they ramp up their Originals slate and continue their ascent in the streaming space.”

The new TV show premieres on Tubi February 6, 2025 and stars Lauren Graham, Spencer Stevenson, Madison Shamoun, Nico Santos, Anna Bezahler, and Evan Marsh.

Check out Lauren Graham's return to TV in The Z-Suite when it premieres on Tubi February 6, and don't forget to bookmark all the other amazing February TV shows coming soon!
