These Spanish Fried Paleo Eggs make my unbelievably happy. I’ve always been partial to sunny side up eggs (would you like an egg on that? yes, please!) – but since moving away from Teflon and non-stick pans, the perfect fried egg has continued to elude me. Until now!
It took an abundance of bacon fat and a happy accident of not paying attention to just how much I put in the pan to figure it out, but boy am I glad this happened. The Spanish fried egg is just an egg fried in a whole lot of olive oil. So to paleo it up? Use bacon fat! Easy as can be. No stickage, just pure eggy deliciousness.
