Recipe - Fried Eggs

Do I really need to share a recipe for a fried egg? Probably not...but here are some tips anyway.

1. Use a cast iron pan and put a generous amount of bacon grease in it.
2. Let the pan get hot (on my gas stove I have high, 5, 4, 3, etc. I put it at 4).
3. Carefully crack a farm fresh chicken egg into the pan.
4. When that side is done (can't give you any hints there) flip it over. 
5. Count to 10 and serve with bacon, sausage or make a hamburger and flop it on top - now you have gravy for your burger.

There are a lot of good things about raw egg yolks. Cooking the egg this way gets the egg white crispy, but leaves plenty of gooey egg yolk. My daughter was absolutely disgusted by the way the egg looked. I made her try a bite (yes, she's 14, but I still make her try new things...) and now she asks for a fried egg often.

My cast iron pan isn't quite seasoned so I have to add a LOT of bacon grease. I really need to season it - any tips??? I've tried this in my teflon pan and it just doesn't taste the same.

I wouldn't recommend doing this with eggs from the grocery store.  By the way, I still have not mastered hard boiling a farm fresh egg - still cannot peel the silly thing!
