   Fry the eggs

   • Crack each egg onto a plate and lightly season with salt.
   • Gently slide the egg into the hot oil.
   • Tilt the pan forward and use a wooden spoon to baste hot oil over the yolk so the white sets quickly and fully encloses the yolk.
   • When the white is set and edges are golden, lift the egg with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on a cloth.
