Pan steam.

Put a bit of oil in the bottom of a coverable skillet.

When the oil is hot, break the egg into it and put the cover in place.

Wait about 30 seconds.

Get a small amount of cold water (about 1/4 cup I'd say, but I never
actually measure it) and pour it quickly into the pan and re-cover right
away! (I generally just lift a corner of the lid).

Time for 1 minute and then check periodically until the white is set.

Works for me. :-)

I'm looking forward to Asparagus season when I can afford it again!
