Safest oil for frying an egg

Ghee is great for egg-frying because it will add a buttery flavor and resist smoking in the hot pan. Note that ghee is dairy, even though it’s clarified, meaning the casein/lactose have mostly been removed. “Some people prefer to stay away from dairy,” says Wiegand. “Ghee also contains saturated fats versus monounsaturated fats — both are okay for you in moderation, depending on your needs.” If you’re steering clear of dairy and/or limiting your saturated fat, choose avocado oil.
