How to fry an egg without splitting the yolk

This is one I have been doing for years. I never realised others didn’t do this until my mother in law saw me do it and was surprised. So, how to fry an egg without splitting the yolk.

It’s not really a question to answer if you use lots of oil. But that is fairly unhealthy. So let’s not do that. You could also flip the egg. But unless you are really careful, that yolk will split. Another option would be to put a lid on your frying pan. This one works well and ‘steams’ the egg as it cooks. Unfortunately, most of us don’t have frying pan lids.

So here is the way I do it. I finish the eggs by putting them under the grill. It cooks the yolks and whites perfectly and with no flipping, you don’t break the yolk.
