Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black Pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Gather all your ingredients and tools: a nonstick skillet, a spatula, and a small bowl for cracking eggs.
Step 2: Place the nonstick skillet on the stove and turn the heat to low. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt completely. Swirl the pan to coat the surface evenly with the butter.
Step 3: Crack one egg at a time into a small bowl to ensure no shells go into the pan. Once checked, gently pour the eggs into the skillet without breaking the yolks.
Step 4: Cook the eggs on low heat for about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side-up, or until the whites are fully set and no longer translucent.
Step 5: If you prefer the yolk less runny, cover the skillet with a lid for an additional 1-2 minutes to cook the top part of the egg.
Step 6: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the eggs to season them while they are still hot.
Step 7: Carefully slide the spatula under each egg and gently lift it onto a plate. Serve immediately and enjoy!
