Eggs are way better fried in oil instead of butter, amirite?

Can confirm i recently replaced my cooking oil when frying with ghee and its delicious and crispy

I use clarified butter and it works better than any other fat IMO.

It's the flavor of butter that I think it's worse than when fried in oil. I love butter and it's amazing to pan fry bread but when it comes to eggs it adds some odd flavor.

Are you mental? When I See I don't have Butter, I'd rather have no fried eggs, than oil fried eggs

Olive oil and eggs are superb, sesame oil is also a very interesting combination with eggs

You know margarine is oil, right?

To me, clarified butter is the way to go. It still tastes like butter, but doesn't burn during frying.

I prefer frying in olive oil. Butter is better for scrambled eggs - adds creaminess and a nice flavor, but if you are going to fry an egg, something hotter is better.

idk if this is unpopular but I certainly disagree, I only eat scrambled eggs made with butter

butter should be used exclusively for scrambled eggs. it incorporates in the final product better than oil. fried/sunny side up eggs are way better when done with oil.

I'm from the olive oilest country of all (Portugal) and I frying eggs is the only thing I use butter for haha (besides Stuff where Ghee is used). Caramelization of the sides is just nice

I would say everyone I know uses butter. I live in a dairy state so maybe that's why, but definitely more common than oil.
