One Chef-Approved Garlic Fried Egg Is Elevating TikTok's Breakfast Game
By Arianna Endicott
On TikTok, chef Hailee Catalano posts videos showcasing her favorite recipes, drink ideas, and cooking hacks. In one viral video, she makes a fried egg with an extra garlic flavor.
In the video, Catalano slices garlic with a mandolin and fries it in an oily pan before cracking an egg in, carefully moving the garlic toward the edges of the egg whites.
She then covers the pan with a lid to trap the heat while the egg cooks. Once happy with the egg’s consistency, Catalano seasons it with salt and black sesame seeds.
The egg is plated atop of rice and topped off with a spoonful of ghost pepper chili crunch. She finishes the dish off with sliced scallions, avocado, and soy sauce.
Despite the looming threat of garlic breath, many commenters were left craving the dish and one even compared it to arroz con huevo frito, a popular Cuban dish.
