Spanish way deep fried egg

Huevo frito

Whats a Spanish fried egg? Its an egg fried very quickly in very, very hot olive oil. What you get in a Spanish fried egg is a crispy, delicate white that crunches then practically melts in your mouth. The yolk is just set, but still runny enough to soak into your toast. In other words, no rubbery white - no overcooked yolk. Eggy perfection! Spanish painter Diego Velázquez painted a portrait of an elderly lady frying eggs in 1618. It is hanging in the National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh.
