Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat.
Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly. Be careful not to let it brown.
Crack the eggs into the pan, ensuring the yolks remain intact.
Let the eggs cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to crisp and the whites are mostly set.
Season the eggs with salt and black pepper, according to taste.
For sunny-side-up eggs, cover the pan with a lid for an additional 1-2 minutes until the yolks set to your desired level of firmness.
For over-easy eggs, gently flip the eggs using a spatula and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Carefully remove the eggs from the pan using a spatula and serve immediately.
