What we especially love about fried eggs is their simplicity, versatility and wide appeal. Roger Vergé, a forefather of nouvelle cuisine, knew how seductive the promise of fried eggs could be on his friends. “Many is the time that I have suddenly had a longing for three fried eggs —usually after midnight, when I am among friends, and guests who have finished dinner and are mulling away the evening with a liqueur. The sight of the eggs cooking is too much for them all, and they always end up by joining me. I know few dishes so powerful!” Here are 10 unique and delectable ways to fry the beloved egg for you and your friends today.
