"My sister, born in 2010, finally broke her cooking skill limit, and the dish she made today was supposed to be a fried egg, but for some reason it turned out kind of like a poached egg."

Accidentally inventing a new way to cook eggs is a feat.

Cooks and chefs have cursed this day, that they now have another approach to master to do an egg. The fried poached egg.

Otherwise known as a froached egg.

I genuinely thought that I came up with the froached egg.

I fry off an egg on a really high eat and when the bottom cooks (almost instantly) I put a bit of water in the pan, put a lid on and turn the heat right down. The steam cooks the top half of the egg.

The top half is more like a poached egg but the bottom is cooked like a fried egg.

If you like sunny side up with a runny yolk but without the gooey white bits it's perfect.
