Cooks' Country Perfect Fried Eggs

I've been teaching myself how to cook for the last two years since all my allergies made it impossible to eat anything pre-prepared. Gordon Ramsay's show The F Word (standing for food) greatly increased my skills and confidence in the kitchen. Brandon and I also like to watch PBS Cooks Country while doing chores at night or drinking our nightly tea. The show is all about the best method to use to get the best taste in the easiest amount of time. Last week an episode aired about the perfect way to fry eggs. Brandon and I both enjoy fried eggs. Brandon's preference is a little runnier than mine. Just in the last half hour did I give their method a try. It takes more steps than the way I did it before -- low heat with "butter" in a pan. There isn't a consistent turn out for that method in this house. I get way too distracted around here. The eggs Cooks Country way were fantastic. Eye widening goodness with each bite. 

Cooks Country August 2013 Perfect Fried Eggs

So here's the method as best remembered from watching the episode.

Heat a nonstick pan up for a few minutes.
Add butter and a bit of oil to help with sticking. 
Add eggs and cover the pan so no steam comes out. 
Cook for one minute on medium heat with the pan covered.
Remove from heat. 
Keep pan covered and let cook until desired runniness is achieved. 
Carefully check the eggs by lifting the cover just a little so not too much steam escapes.

This is just far to delicious not to share.
Thanks Cooks Country for making my food taste like a little piece of heaven.
