Fresh eggs are best for frying or poaching.
To fry an egg, spray small skillet with cooking spray or add 1 teaspoon to 2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil. Heat skillet on medium-high heat. Slip egg into pan and immediately reduce heat to low. Cook slowly until white is completely set and yolk begins to thicken. Baste egg with butter OR turn over to cook both sides.
To poach an egg, bring 2 to 3-inches of water to boiling in deep skillet or omelet pan. Break cold egg into a custard cup. SLIP egg into water. Cook until whites are completely set and yolk begins to thicken but is not hard, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove carefully with a slotted spoon.
