Description

Most people crack an egg straight into plain oil and start frying, but in the old Jewish kitchens I grew up around, the flavor started before the egg ever touched the pan. In this video, I’ll show you how I make fried eggs with schmaltz and slowly cooked onions, then finish the egg by spooning the hot flavored fat over the white instead of flipping it. You’ll learn how to get: Tender egg whites without a tough, burned bottom A soft yolk cooked exactly how you like it Rich flavor from schmaltz and onions Better control without flipping the egg A simple old-fashioned method that makes inexpensive ingredients taste like a real meal I’ll also explain why the heat matters so much, how to use the onions at the end, what to do with gribenes, and how this method fits into the practical tradition of Ashkenazi Jewish home cooking. If your family cooked eggs with schmaltz, onions, salami, lox, butter, or another old family method, tell me about it in the comments.
