So if you know me at all, you know that I dislike eating eggs. So it comes as no surprise that this post would be my first with any visuals.
When I started talking about Whole30 with friends and family, it became clear that eggs were a big part of anyone's success. Since I was able to drop milk and sugar from my coffee, I feel pretty strongly that I can overcome my fear, nay, my distaste, for eggs.
Today is the day. I found Michelle Tam's Crispy Fried Egg recipe. I found it a few days ago. So after getting the kids to school, preparing to rest during stretches where I didn't have meetings scheduled, I threw some ghee in the pan, and fried my egg.
Here's where I modified the recipe. At no point in her recipe does Michelle Tam flip her egg. But I decided, the best part of a fried anything are the crispy bits - and well, if I could get more crispy bits by flipping the egg, well, then I must do it. So I did.
Watch below to see what happened.

Ok, if you didn't watch, I'll tell you. This egg was not "over-easy" it was "over-done." My reaction is less than pleased.
So did I eat more than the two bites that it took over three and a half minutes to eat? Well, I ate about half the egg. I threw the rest out. I told Matt I'd be wasting a lot of eggs this month. Today? I only wasted half an egg. So that's not too bad.
Thanks for reading!
