I used Omega Plus oil which is olive, avocado, and flaxseed oil. I used quite a bit for just one egg, and a generous sprinkling of parmesan. Easy and quite tasty!

These were fantastic! I served them on thily sliced and toasted Italian Bread and drizzled with the Olive oil. Thanks for a great recipe!

Color me stunned. I had no idea there was more than one way to fry an egg. Great flavor. I served these an a buttered english muffin half with a slice of provolone cheese.

The eggs were tasty and easily prepared. I hate to say that I didn't notice any huge difference in taste. Maybe I should have used more olive oil, not sure. Thank you though for a new way with eggs.
