Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 4 large Eggs Freshness is key; choose organic for better flavor.
For the Cooking Oil
  • 4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil Opt for high-quality oil.
For the Flavor Base
  • 4 cloves Garlic Fresh cloves provide the aromatic essence.
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Coarse sea salt works best.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the parsley-garlic sauce by mincing garlic and mashing with sea salt and parsley in a mortar and pestle. Drizzle in olive oil while stirring to create a smooth sauce.
  2. In a frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat the bottom over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until shimmering.
  3. Slice garlic cloves and add to the hot oil. Fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
  4. Crack eggs into bowls, gently slide into hot oil, and drizzle fried garlic oil over them. Cook for 3-4 minutes, ensuring yolks remain runny.
  5. Spoon hot oil over the eggs, lift them onto plates, drizzle with garlic-parsley sauce, and sprinkle crispy fried garlic. Serve immediately.
