How to Make Fried Eggs with Garlic and Sumac<\/h2>\n

First, dilute the sumac with water and set it aside.<\/p>\n

In a large skillet over high heat, add the olive oil and swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic and sliced chili pepper. Give everything a quick stir, then reduce the heat to medium and saut\u00e9 for about 30 seconds, just until the garlic releases its aroma. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter and negatively affect the flavor of the dish.<\/p>\n

Carefully crack the eggs, one at a time, into a small ramekin, then gently slide them into the garlic-infused olive oil. Let the eggs cook for 2\u20133 minutes, or until the whites are set and the edges are slightly crispy and lacy, while the yolks remain a little runny. Cooking times may vary depending on how you like your fried eggs.<\/p>\n

Reduce the heat to low. If you prefer your eggs with flattened yolks rather than sunny-side up, use the back of a spoon to gently spread each yolk in a circular motion. Season with salt to taste, then randomly drizzle the diluted sumac over the eggs.<\/p>\n

Have your serving plates ready, as eggs cook quickly! Using a spatula, carefully separate the eggs and transfer them to one large serving plate or individual plates. Serve immediately and enjoy!<\/p>\n
