- Although fried eggs are a breakfast staple they often end up sticking to the pan
- An Australian chef has revealed how baking paper can stop this from happening

An Australian chef and food writer has revealed his nifty trick to get the perfect fried egg every time.
According to Good Food's Richard Cornish all you need to do is to use a small piece of baking paper while cooking.
'Line the frying pan with a square of baking paper and place the pan over medium heat,' he wrote for the publication.

An Australian chef has revealed how people can ensure their fried eggs don't stick to the pan
'When hot, add a small pat of butter or a little olive oil to the paper and crack the eggs directly onto the paper. Cover with a lid.'
When the egg is done he suggested using an egg flip to slide the egg off.
Although this won't create crisp edges it will successfully cook the perfect egg and also means the pan will only need a rinse with hot water to clean it.

Previously Mr Cornish said that putting a lid over the egg while cooking helps cook it to perfection.
'Frying delivers heat from the bottom of the pan and the fat stops the eggs from sticking while adding flavour,' he wrote.
By covering the eggs with a stainless steel lid while they sizzle, heat is reflected onto the food which cooks them from above.
In a demonstration for Australian supermarket Coles, celebrity chef Curtis Stone revealed his unique insider trick for exceptional eggs which started with frying bacon on a pan.
He then removed the meat leaving a layer of crackling grease which he said is the perfect environment to cook your eggs.
'Gently pop your eggs into the pan, trying to keep them on separate sides – it doesn't matter if they touch a little, so long as they're not fused completely,' he said.
