Wow thanks. I'll have to try that. I have that cute little pan too.

yo no prob, just make sure that pan doesn't have like, fork gouges and meteor strikes in it if other people have used it.
As long as it's not too scratched up and it's non-stick you'll be golden.
Give or take the temps and timing, that's different for everyone and their stupid pans and stoves and poo poo, you'll figure this one out easy. Give it a few Saturdays and the same general idea.

Capers and dill are an excellent pairing on that.

Please do the covering thing, you see how perfectly round the eggs are in the pic I quoted? it's because that's the exact pan size, it's the small little frying pan your set comes with, but it needs to be at least somewhat decent. You'll have a lid for a sauce pan that perfectly matches it, or is drat near close.
Get butter underway in it to a light froth and crack your eggs into it and keep it low (somewhere between a 5.5 and a 7) on an electric, be a little patient. When you see the edges lift and you swirl the butter around them just kinda shimmy the pan by jerking the hand with the wrist. The eggs should slide without breaking, they'll just kinda slip around for SHORT distances in the pan. If they're stuck you did it wrong. If they're swimming in fat or some other liquid, something else has gone wrong.

K. All set. Put like..I dunno, a shotglass of water in the lid and dump it in along the edge of the pan as you turn the lid over onto it, turn up the heat to about 9 and count out 15 seconds and then turn it back down. Count out another few seconds, whatever, then take the lid off, and if there's any water let it steam back off, and..poof, eggs like the picture in approximately 2.5 minutes of them hitting the pan every time.
Yolk will be a lil runny. Don't be a bitch so long as the whites set.

Then again, I'm the guy who will do the whole "use one half of an egg to separate the raw yolk" technique to make caeser dressing to toss with salad and have been doing so for eh...13 years now without getting sick. So...maybe I'm not your egg man.

I don't know what to say about this whole over complication of frying an egg.

It's just part of the English Full Breakfast.

English Men just know how to produce a plate of fried eggs, mushrooms, bacon and sausages without this amount of shite.

I have no explanation.

Probably why yank women get so wet over UK men.

He's explaining a specific technique to make sunny side up eggs more like over easy by steaming the top of the egg rather than flipping them.

Also, it's the accent that does it... not the looks. That's for drat sure.

Fried pork tenderloins represent. On a biscuit or by itself, fresh and hot out of the frypan, hot sauce and/or mustard. Maybe some eggs on the side. Diner coffee served by a lady nonironically calling you "honey". To finish, more biscuits with butter and sorghum/molassess/actual honey to sop up.

Serious question here- what is a biscuit to the people who need a detailed explanation of how to fry an egg?

I speak the English language as a native, almost as an a aboriginal of England. But we would never put meat on a biscuit.

I mean I've read about the history of the USA.

How they thought they were the best after ww2 and then the little yellow people told them no quite convincingly and how they never got over that despite other fights they still feel bad about the bad fight against the yellow man.

But what are biscuits?

I live in England.

We eat tasty biscuits like hobnobs. And fig rolls.

Custard creams, Jaffa cakes and digestives.

Can the US describe biscuits to England without making them sound disgusting?

This is a standard biscuit. Basically what Tinfoil said.

A lot of people just split them in half and spread butter on them but there are a lot of different uses. Biscuits and gravy being another popular use. They're really light and fluffy and buttery compared to other types of rolls/pastries or whatever you want to call them here. Very good.

Wait, that's kind of a lie. I've had some really dense biscuits before. I like them to be light and fluffy though.

Biscuits are like my favorite food, and the cook in my life always gets super agitated when they make biscuits and I eat like, half of them at once because I'm an rear end in a top hat.

I love lots of normal, cheap breakfast stuff like sausage links and bacon and french toast and and and.

If I could taste a single thing besides salty and super-spicy right now, I'd try making a trashy omelette and a plate of biscuits right now, but I guess we're having something else already.

That there is a scone.

Not a biscuit. How you pronounce the word scone splits this nation in half. We still have not recovered.

Imagine a country split between thinking people of a different colour could be kept as slaves and didn't count as real people and a country that pronounced scone differently.

It was that serious.

It says biscuit on the tin, therefore it's a biscuit. I've had a scone, and that is no scone. A scone is MUCH more dense.

What? Phonetically, how do you pronounce scone?

And yeah, what BBC said. I thought to you guys a scone was a sweet thing.

The pronunciation of scone is a a very important signifier of culture in the UK.

All I'm saying is- ask anybody who was a member of the IRA to pronounce scone.

And then ask them to start collecting money in Boston for bombs set off by brown people.

USA biscuits are closer to a UK scone than a UK biscuit

a USA biscuit is about 300x better than both but they're all different things

I have never eaten a scone that I would describe as "flaky" or "fluffy", which is what US biscuits are.

Scones are good tho but they are dense and often crumbly

Hell yeah, Eggs Benedict (and variations thereof) is pretty much the definitive savory breakfast meal IMO. I cant even remember the last time I ordered something else for breakfast because why would I? Also, crispy homefries on the side is a pro move.
