Fried Eggs With No Pan

A little experiment borne of boredom, I was considering making a fried egg for my sandwich and the pan looked so boring...

Oddly this experiment was an instant success and actually easier than using the pan on account of my oven hob's enthusiasm for heat, downside, I broke the yolk while cracking the egg, otherwise it'd have been much prettier.

Eh, not very much...

An egg
Some tinfoil
An oven hob, gas won't work here
A little cooking oil (less than usual, surprisingly...

Eh, My thoughts on this were that as long as the surface was flat and oiled it should work, but cleaning the oven itself looked like a big job, so I put tinfoil on top and went from there.

Putting a little oil on the tinfoil and spreading it around is a good plan, I did but not widely enough, the edges stuck a tiny bit

I went with firing up the hob at a lowish heat, though mine's a bit loopy so I can't go low enough to make perfect eggs.

The tinfoil doesn't really heat up much until something presses on it, so don't worry about that...

Crack the egg and drop it out over the hob, try not to break the yolk like I did, I was a bit over zealous...

Eh cook the egg and either slow cook all the way through or, if your oven's as gung ho as mine, slide the tinfoil to the side, put another bit on the hob and flip...

The result is surprisingly tasty eggs, probably because they tasted like egg and not the other stuff your pan may cook...

I'll be honest, anxious to test the results I took the egg off the foil and just stuff the whole thing in my mouth, it was good and it occurred to me that I might make eggs for sandwiches this way all the time...
