Cuban Deep Fried Eggs

Ingredients

• Pour the oil to a depth of about 1 and 1/2 inches  into a heavy frying pan large enough to hold 3 eggs at a time.
• Heat the oil to 175 degrees.
• Be careful not to overheat the oil as this will make the whites puff and brown. They should remain smooth, almost like an egg poached in water.
• Break the eggs into saucers and slide into the frying pan.
• Gently lift the whites over the yolk with a tablespoon.
• Deep fry the eggs for 2 or 3 minutes.
• The yolks should be soft.
• Lift out with a slotted spatula and drain on paper towels.
