Eggs and Omelets
Ingredients
Directions
Heat hot lard in a pan.
Carefully drop eggs into the hot lard, frying for about 3 minutes without breaking them.
Alternatively, stir the hot lard until it creates a whirlpool, then drop in the eggs to fry them round like balls.
Remove the eggs with a skimmer.
To poach, place eggs in boiling water until cooked to your liking.
