How to Cook an Egg on Cast Iron?

To cook an egg on cast iron without it sticking, heat the skillet on low heat for 2-3 minutes, add oil or butter, and then add the egg.

Here's a breakdown for perfect eggs every time:

1. Preheat Properly: Heat your cast iron skillet over low heat for about 2 to 3 minutes. This ensures even heat distribution and prevents hot spots that can cause sticking. The time will vary depending on your burner.

2. Add Fat: Generously add your chosen cooking fat to the pan. Options include:

   • Oil: Regular cooking oil or spray oil works well.
   • Butter: Butter adds flavor, but can burn easily if the heat is too high.

3. Cook Low and Slow: Gently crack your egg into the preheated skillet. Cook on low heat to prevent the egg from sticking and burning.
