Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place a medium non-stick frying pan on the stove over medium-low heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and allow it to melt gently. Swirl the butter around to coat the entire pan.
Crack the eggs gently into a small bowl, one at a time, ensuring the yolk remains intact.
Carefully pour the eggs from the bowl into the buttered pan, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Sprinkle 0.25 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper evenly over the eggs.
Cover the pan with a lid to ensure thorough cooking, allowing the whites to firm up while the yolks remain creamy, approximately 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.
Check the eggs for desired doneness. The whites should be set, and the yolks should jiggle slightly for a runny texture.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the eggs to ensure they're not sticking to the pan.
Carefully slide the eggs onto a plate and serve immediately for the best texture.
Enjoy your perfect pan-fried eggs with toast or as a complement to your favorite breakfast dish.
