Add a Twist to Breakfast With Middle Eastern Garlic Fried Eggs

1. Over medium heat, melt butter in a frying pan, or coat the pan with cooking spray before heating. Add garlic and lemon juice and sauté for about 2 minutes, watching to make sure the garlic doesn't burn.

2. Crack eggs into frying pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes, until yolk begins to get a little firm.

3. Flip eggs carefully and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes (longer if you like a firmer yolk).

4. Remove from frying pan, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.
