Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 spray non-stick cooking spray
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 tsp fresh herbs (optional, such as chives or parsley)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. This ensures that the eggs cook evenly and the whites set without browning too quickly.
Apply a light coat of non-stick cooking spray to the skillet. This helps reduce fat content as compared to using oil or butter.
Carefully crack the eggs into a small bowl, one at a time. Inspect for any shell fragments and discard them.
Gently slide the eggs from the bowl into the skillet, keeping the yolks intact.
Cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes or until the whites are fully set and the yolks have reached your desired doneness.
Remove the skillet from heat. Use a spatula to carefully lift the eggs from the pan.
Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add fresh herbs if desired for extra flavor.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your low-fat perfect pan-fried eggs as part of a healthy breakfast.
