Fry-day: Deep Fried Eggs

When most people talk about frying eggs, they pan fry them. That begs the question, can you deep fry eggs? So for this weeks fry-day special I broke out my deep fryer, heated up some lard, and got to frying!
While the lard is heating up, start by breaking some eggs into small prep bowls. This process has to be fast so you won’t have time to break open the eggs.Once the fryer is up to temperature, about 375 degrees, the fun part starts.  Quickly slip the egg into the oil.  Then, using two metal spatulas, “contain” the egg. It will want to split apart but if you coerce it into a ball it will fry whole.Of course you can’t have breakfast without bacon…Here’s the finished shot of the deep fried egg! I was surprised how well it stayed together!For breakfast I had two of the fried eggs and some slices of bacon.Of course I had to include the money shot 🙂

DeLonghi Deep Fryer If you follow the blog, you know that I’ve gotten a little obsessed lately with my Deep Fryer to the point where I post a weekly Fry-day article. I had one of these in college and it always made me feel guilty using it. I feel so liberated that there are all sorts of keto friendly fried foods like nuggets, wings and brussels sprouts!

Cone Filters, 50 Pack To keep your frying oil clean, you really need to filter it on a regular basis. Fryers will come with one or two filters in the kit but they run out fast. This 50 pack will keep you going for well over a year

Stainless Steel Prep Bowls These little guys are perfect for pre-portioning ingredients. I use them for holding spices or in a dish where I incrementally add ingredients as I go. You can pre-chop some onions or peppers and store them for later. I even use them to store parts of a lunch I don’t want microwave like in my taco recipe!
