Method
- In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Crack each egg into a small bowl or cup, keeping the yolk intact and setting aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until melted and foaming, about 1 minute.
- Place a handful of the breadcrumb mixture in your palm and gently slide an egg from its bowl into the coating, pressing crumbs onto the egg white to cover completely.
- Carefully slide the coated egg into the hot skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully flip the egg and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the coating is golden and the yolk remains runny.
- Transfer the cooked egg to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess butter and let rest for 30 seconds.
- Repeat the coating and frying process with the remaining eggs, adding 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan before each egg.
- Serve the hot drug eggs immediately on buttered toast or alongside crispy potatoes for best texture.
Notes
Eggs are best served immediately to maintain a crispy exterior; store leftover coating in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
