Balsamic Fried Eggs Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons good-quality extra virgin olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
- Red mustard greens, watercress, or arugula, for garnish
Directions
- In a nonstick or seasoned egg pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot but not quite at the smoking point, crack open the eggs into the pan and cook for about 25 seconds, keeping the heat medium.
- As they puff up, baste the top of the yolks with the hot oil to help them cook.
- After the eggs set, slide them onto a warm plate. Pour off any excess oil.
- Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan, and let it sizzle and reduce slightly for a moment or two.
- Drizzle the vinegar over the eggs and drop a small handful of garnish on top. Serve with toasted bread.

I just made this for dinner and it was wonderful! Used a nice aged balsamic vinegar that reduced nicely and topped with both arugula and some macro greens. Very easy and highly recommend. I reduced the vinegar in the hot pan but off the burner.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

September 19, 2008I tried making a meal with balsamic vinegar reduced in a pan and the vinegar curdled/burned away. is this because the pan was too hot or because the vinegar wasnt an aged high quality one?
