Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pan

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.

  2. 2

    Crack the Egg

    Gently crack the egg into a small bowl to avoid any shell pieces, then slide it into the skillet.

  3. 3

    Cook the Egg

    Let the egg cook until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes. For a firmer yolk, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Season

    Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the egg while it cooks.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Carefully slide the egg onto a plate and serve immediately, optionally with toast or on its own.
