Would you like me to add your dry-fry recipe to A57051803, as mentioned in the fried egg thread?

If so, could you post it here or mail it to me?

it's not mine, it's Anton Mosimann's
I can post it here if you like - I'm having computer problems and emailing isn't one of the things I can manage very well.

Go ahead. Have another look at the entry, I've made lots of changes.

If the worst comes to the worst, you could phone me in the evening and dictate it over the phone!

I'll put it here then it's more of a surprise for the others.

This is from Cooking with Mosimann

Mosimann's Fried Egg

Fried eggs are very much part of the traditional British breakfast, but they are generally cooked in much too much fat. This is my solution.
You must use eggs that are very fresh. Simply place the serving plate over a pan of simmering water, and allow the plate to become hot. Crack the egg straight on to the hot plate, and it will immediately start to set. Cover with a cloche or lid - another inverted plate will do - and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until done to your taste. Season to taste. It takes a little longer than a conventional fried egg.

Oh brilliant. That really is different, although placing the lid over it makes more steamed than fried, but the result is a low-calorie to-all-intents-and-purposes fried egg.

The opening sentences are already contained in the entry, so I'll just c&p the bare recipe. Should I credit AM?

What is 's definition of "fried"? Can you call it frying if there is a closed lid on it?
