- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Gather ingredients: 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, and optionally, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
3. Crack the two large eggs into a small bowl, ensuring the yolks remain intact.
4. Gently slide the eggs from the bowl into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks.
5. Cook the eggs for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If you prefer your eggs more cooked, cover the skillet with a lid for the last minute of cooking.
6. Sprinkle a pinch of freshly ground black pepper over the eggs to taste. Remember, we're keeping it low sodium, so there's no need to add salt.
7. Once the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness, carefully transfer them onto a serving plate using a spatula.

9. Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium perfect pan-fried eggs!
