Ingredients

1 Bag Wide Egg Noodles
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by boiling your wide egg noodles according to your packages directions. You want the noodles to be al dente.
Once they are cooked through, strain them thoroughly and shake out extra water. Let the egg noodles rest in your colander while you preheat your skillet.
Preheat a heavy bottom (cast iron works best) skillet over medium high heat. Add in the butter and the olive oil.
Once the fats begin to melt and combine, swirl them in the pan and reduce the heat just slightly above medium heat.
Add your egg noodles to your pan in a single layer (like you would hashbrowns).
Use a spatula and press down slightly and let them cook for a few minutes, untouched in the pan. Season the top with salt and pepper while the bottom is cooking.
After 3-4 minutes, check the bottom of the noodles and see if they're turning golden brown. If they aren't give them another few minutes and if they look ready to flip, do so now and repeat the process.
Once each side has browned nicely and turned crisp, test taste and adjust your salt and pepper as needed. Remove from the heat and serve.
