Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 slices Bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Start by preparing your pan: Place a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat and allow it to preheat for 1-2 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling the pan to evenly coat the surface.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl, being careful not to break the yolks.
Gently slide the eggs into the preheated skillet, keeping the yolks intact.
Add 1 tablespoon of water to the edge of the skillet (not directly on the eggs) and quickly cover the pan with a lid. This helps to lightly steam the eggs, ensuring the whites set while keeping the yolks runny.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are fully set, but the yolks remain soft and runny. Adjust cooking time if you prefer the yolks less runny.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a grill pan until golden brown and crisp.
Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over the hot toast for additional flavor.
Season the cooked eggs with salt and black pepper to taste.
Plate the toast and carefully place one egg on top of each slice. Serve immediately and enjoy your old-fashioned runny eggs and toast!
