What did you have for breakfast thread?

Butter, with a side of toast, sausage and a perfect fried egg.

I have a stainless steel pan. Gets dishwashered as needed. When it comes out it gets heated super hot, then gets heated with good splash of oil for two minutes, bit of swirling, and then allowed to cool.

Then when it's time for breakfast get it really hot (13 out of 16 on my induction hob, 5 out of 6 on the old ceramic). Don't be stingy with the oil. Crack the egg in (it should sizzle up beautifully), season with salt and pepper. When the white looks pretty good, I like to turn off the heat and turn the egg to give the top a quick toasting and get it off of the pan on to a plate ASAP. My OH prefers a more set yolk, so they get a bit of a longer cook on top.

The steel pan doesn't care about getting overheated, so you can really go for it. Getting the hang of seasoning can take a little practice, but you can do it every time you wash it, no lifetime care like for the cast iron. I find the seasoning method is good enough to do crepes in (drain off the oil), and the super crispy eggs slide around in it. I have a 24cm stainless steel pan from ikea. The aluminium rivets don't care for the dishwasher, so I probably need to replace it in a few years (or figure out if someone can repair it for me)
