Directions
Crack the eggs: Crack 2 large eggs into a custard cup.

TIP: Never crack eggs directly into a pan-always crack them into a cup or ramekin. It's the only way to make sure they cook evenly, and you can pour them into the pan right where you want them.

Heat the pan: Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet over low heat and add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (don't dare skimp). Brush the butter around the pan.

Add the eggs: When the butter stops foaming, pour the eggs into the pan, then quickly lift the handle just enough for the eggs to pool slightly on the far side. This will prevent the thin albumin from running out all over the pan.

Flip the eggs: After 10 to 15 seconds, smoothly lower the handle. Wait another 10 seconds, then lightly jiggle the pan just to make sure that nothing is sticking. Season with 1 pinch of kosher salt and 1 grind of black pepper and cook, still over low heat, for 1 to 11/2 minutes.

Jiggle again and examine the whites for opaqueness; when they're fully set but not hard, it's time to flip. Here comes the hard part: Flip the eggs by pushing the pan away from you and snapping the far edge upward. As the eggs turn, try to bring the pan up to meet them.

Return the pan to the heat and slowly count to 10. Re-flip the eggs to their original side. (This time it won't be so difficult.) Slide onto a warmed plate and serve immediately with toast for wiping up all the goodness.

TIP: Never flip the food up and bring the pan down. Try to meet the food with the pan as best as you can, thus preventing a hard-and potentially yolk-busting-landing.

i guess since all rules and regulations have been thrown out the window, i can bring up chicken nachos consumed at a bar at night.


pean and dan, what was the deal with that anyway?

i feel like chicken was not really even desired but somehow you ordered 2 huge plates of them.


(please note i did not have even one bite as my fingers would have been bitten off by the ravenous jugkope)

yes it was a big issue if i remember correctly.

i think you ordered nachos and the girl was like "oh chicken nachos?"

and you looked around and none of us responded and you submitted to the chicken.


i think the exact process unfolded the next time too

the only reason i mentioned the club sandwich in here is because this is the realm where we talked about your difficulty ordering at restaurants.

if i did it in last meal you'd have female doged that i wasn't in the right thread. we can't win with you!

also, your chicken (chaser) nacho story should go in the last meal you had thread. there is an unwritten rule that it really just has to be a fairly recent meal. but there is a statute of limitations. it can't be like 4 meals ago.

also, all of these rules can go right to hell anyway. i'm gonna have ice cream for breakfast tomorrow and write about it in the last meal i had thread tonight.
