🛒Ingredients You’ll Need
- 3 Eggs
- 3 pinches of Salt (For the eggs)
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tbsp salt (For flour mix)
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- Water (For Batter)
- Vegetable Oil (For Frying)
🧑🍳Let’s Cook: Step-by-Step Instructions
1- Preapare the egg omelette
Crack the eggs into a deep bowl. Beat the eggs and add 3 pinches of salt; this enhances the flavor of the eggs, with a spoon or whisk until they are fully combined and fluffy. Place a non-stick pan on the stove and heat it on a medium-low flame.
Pour in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, heat it slightly, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook the eggs like an omelett, ensuring both sides are well done but not overcooked or browned.
Transfer the cooked omelette to a plate and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut the omelette into triangle-shaped pieces (or any shape you prefer). Set them aside.
2- Prepare the flour coating
Put 300 grams of all-purpose flour in a bowl. Add at least 1/2 tablespoon of salt and 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder.
Mix everything well with a spoon or whisk until evenly blended. This flour mixture is going to be used for both the dry coating and to make a thin batter for dipping.
3- Make the batter
50 grams of the prepared flour mixture taken out and put in a different bowl. To make a thin, smooth batter, add about half a glass of water.
Whisk until there are no lumps, and the consistency is like a light pancake batter. This batter helps the flour stick better and adds an extra crunch when fried.
4- Coat the omelett pieces
Take one omelett triangle and dip it into the thin batter. Cover the dry flour mixture over it right away. To make the flour stick, gently press it in.
Repeat the dipping and coating process 2 to 3 times for each piece. This layering is what creates that thick, crispy, textured crust.
Make sure every piece is well-coated. Once done, lay them all on a dry plate or tray. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This rest helps the coating dry slightly, improving the crunchiness when fried.
5- Fry to golden perfection
Heat the oil on high flame, then reduce it slightly to medium-high once it’s hot. Test the oil by dropping a little batter into it—if it sizzles and rises immediately, it’s ready.
Using tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully insert the coated egg triangles into the hot oil. Fry on medium to low flame for 6 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even browning.
When golden brown, take out of the oil and drain on a paper towel with the dish-lined plate. Repeat until all egg pieces are fried. Don’t overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and lead to soggy results.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Your crispy eggs are ready! They’re best enjoyed hot and fresh, but they also reheat surprisingly well in an oven or air fryer.

- With chili garlic sauce or ketchup.

📌 Helpful Tips to Get the Perfect Crunch
- Double Coat for extra Crunch: Dip each egg piece in batter and flour 2-3 times to create a thick, crispy coating.
- Rest Before Frying: To help the crust firm up, let the coated egg pieces sit for ten to fifteen minutes before frying.
- Control the Heat: Fry on medium to low heat to ensure even cooking and avoid burning the coating.
- Add Flavours: Mix chili flakes, garlic powder, or herbs into the flour for extra taste.
- Try Air Frying: For a healthier option, air fry until golden and crisp.

🍶Storage Tips
- Cool Completely: Let the crispy egg pieces cool fully before storing to prevent sogginess.
- Use Airtight Containers: They help preserve crispiness.
- Paper Towel Lining: Absorb moisture and any excess oil.
- Short-Term Storage: Keep at room temperature for up to 6 hours.
- Refrigeration: Store in the fridge for up to 2 days–note the coating may soften.
- Reheat right way: Before serving, reheat in an oven or air fryer until crisp.

FAQ’s- Crispy Egg
What are Crispy Eggs?
Crispy eggs are omelet pieces coated in seasoned flour and batter, then deep-fried until golden, crunchy, and deliciously flavored.
Can I use the other type of flour instead of normal flour?
Yes! You can try rice flour or cornstarch for an extra light and crunchy texture.
Why should I coat the omelet pieces multiple times?
I coat the omelet pieces many times to add great texture and extra crunchiness.
How do I know when the oil is hot enough for frying?
Drop a little batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the top, it means the oil is ready. If it sinks or does not, bubbles, it is not hot enough.
How do I prevent the fried coating from becoming soggy?
Avoid overcrowding the pan and draining the fried pieces on paper towels immediately. Letting them rest on a rack also helps keep them crispy.
