Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chopped fresh herbs (optional, e.g., parsley or chives)
Instructions
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and allow it to warm up for about 1 minute.
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt completely, swirling the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Once the butter begins to gently foam and sizzle (but not brown), carefully crack each egg into the skillet without breaking the yolks. For better results, crack the eggs into a small bowl first and gently slide them into the pan one at a time.
Cook the eggs undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. You can reduce the heat to low if needed to avoid overcooking the edges.
Season the eggs with a sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add chopped fresh herbs on top if desired.
Carefully slide the eggs onto a plate using a spatula. Serve immediately with crusty bread or a light salad if preferred.
