How do you cook eggs in a pan without oil?
Steam your egg
When the pan is hot, crack your egg into the pan and immediately pour a half teaspoon of water around the egg (onto the exposed parts of the frying pan). Cover the pan with a lid or plate. Cooking for 1 minute will give you a delicious fried egg without oil and with a nice runny yolk.
What should you fry eggs in?
Any pan of any material is fine for frying eggs! If you’re concerned about eggs sticking or don’t want to use a lot of butter, choose a nonstick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Stainless steel skillets are just fine, but be sure to use an extra teaspoon or two of butter.
