Absolutely love fried eggs with crisp-ish whites and runny yolks. Grew up on these decades ago. But, back in the day they were fried in bacon fat. To die for!

Frizzled, crispy edge whites on fried eggs are something I really don’t like - toughens the white. But, the same idea can be used without having to fry the eggs (or herbs) so hard. Tarragon is my fav. You can also add fresh herb directly over the raw white as soon as the eggs are in the pan. Over or up, works for me.

Sounds unnerving..I think plain old eggs sounds really good, but each their own!

Unfortunately my husband likes his yolks solid and I like mine runny. Also, I don't have fresh sage but I grow thyme, rosemary and basil on my porch. Can I use those herbs and just cook his eggs first so they're hard?

I just cover hubby's eggs so they steam and get a lot more cooked than mine.
Even a lid just 1/2 way over his side of the pan will do this.

This recipe should be perfect for you. Just baste your husbands yolk with the hot oil. Continue to baste his yolk while you baste your whites and they should be done at the same time with his being a harder yolk than yours.

This sounds so good!
I will be trying it soon. And I LOVE that the article as well as the commenters are pointing out good pairings for the variations.
A variation I might try 1st is make the eggs in sesame oil with either Chinese 5 spice or Thai seasoning underneath, then serve over rice or noodles.

I have done this for years and love it! I also love roasting up fresh crushed garlic under the egg and eat it in tacos or on toast with avocado and tomato. It also goes great on a hash. 🤤

How did no one realize they should have written "More Egg-spiration", the loss of a pun pains me so.
