I had decided earlier that I would just fry myself an egg and have an egg sandwich (a friend so graciously gave me half a loaf of bread before he returned home for the holidays). But then I realized I had green stuff in the fridge, and green stuff in eggs almost always tastes good! So off I marched, ready to prepare my next masterpiece: Green Beans and Eggs! (Hahaha not Green Eggs and Ham :P)
~:Green Beans and Eggs:~
Ingredients:
3 Green Beans, cut into 1/2 cm thick slices
1 Large Egg
Pinch of salt
Cooking oil (I used olive oil)
Steps:
1) Crack the egg into a bowl, pop the yolk and mix the eggstuffs together. Add a tiny pinch of salt (or however much salt you like to use for one egg). Set aside.
2) Fry the green beans in one tablespoon of oil in a pan for a few minutes (I didn't keep track... just however long it takes for your beans to get soft yet crunchy, I suppose. Most people say that that takes 10 minutes, but I only cooked mine for 5 minutes TOPS. Keep in mind you have to refry the beans with the eggs later). Note: I used medium-high heat throughout the recipe.
3) Pour the beans WITHOUT the oil (just carefully shove the beans off the pan and into the bowl using a spatula or something of the sort) onto the egg. Mix everything together.
4) Pour the egg mixture onto your pan (which should still have enough oil on it to cook an egg. If not, add a little more?). Let the egg sit until the bottom becomes solid. Flip egg over onto uncooked side, or flip it in half over itself (so that it resembles a taco w/o filling). If you flipped it onto itself, flip to the other side a couple seconds later. (Flipping the egg over itself makes the outsides more cooked than the insides, which may be just cooked enough; the way I like it!) When there is no more runny eggstuffs, turn off the heat and put your egg on a plate; you're done! (This step should only take about 2 minutes, tops.)
Sorry if that's unclear; if you're not sure how to fry a plain egg, just go on google and search "how to fry an egg" :P
p.s. notice that in the picture, most of my beans are lined up at the edge of the top egg layer... I must've not mixed the beans in evenly in Step 3. Oh well x.x
I actually saw Green Eggs and ham....it was very green. And, might I add, very unappetizing to look at. Fortunately, I didn't have to scarf it down because I can't eat ham! HAH!
