Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon sumac
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into separate small bowls or ramekins to ensure the yolks remain intact.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and sizzle slightly, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Carefully slide the eggs into the skillet, keeping the yolks intact, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Sprinkle the sumac evenly over the egg whites and yolks. Season with sea salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are fully set and the yolks are cooked to your preferred level of doneness (runny or slightly firm).
For added flavor, drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over the cooked eggs before serving (optional).
Remove the eggs from the skillet using a spatula and plate them. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with warm crusty bread, pita, or a side of fresh salad.
