Hazelnut Free Classic Fried Eggs
Few breakfasts are as satisfying as a perfectly cooked fried egg, and this version nails the technique with just three simple ingredients. Butter, eggs, and a pinch of seasoning are all you need — no sauces, no blends, no mystery additives that could hide unwanted allergens. For anyone navigating a tree nut allergy, even something as basic as a breakfast dish can feel uncertain when eating out or reaching for a packaged shortcut, but here every ingredient is completely transparent. The low-and-slow approach in a wide skillet gives you whites that are fully set and tender without any rubbery edges, while the yolk stays gloriously runny and rich. A gentle flip for over-easy adds just enough heat to set the surface while keeping that soft, jammy center intact. Slide them onto a plate and eat immediately — this is the kind of simple, honest cooking that never needs improvement.
