INGREDIENTS:
1 cup vegetable oil or pure Spanish olive oil 1 clove garlic, unpeeled and crushed 6 large eggs



1 In an 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until it is sizzling hot, with ripples on the surface, then add the garlic. When the garlic has turned brown, discard it.
2 Break and egg into a saucer, slide it into the hot oil, and immediately spoon the oil over it, basting with oil until the egg is done, 1 to 2 minutes. The egg should be crisp on the outside and soft inside. Lift out the egg with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and repeat with all the other eggs, cooking no more that 2 at a time.
