1
Gather Ingredients
Collect all the ingredients needed for frying your eggs including eggs, salt, black pepper, and butter or oil.
2
Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.

3
Crack the Eggs
Once the pan is hot, crack the eggs gently into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks.
4
Season the Eggs
Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the eggs while they cook.
5
Cook to Desired Doneness
Allow the eggs to cook until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. For sunny side up, cook for about 2-3 minutes. For over-easy, carefully flip the eggs and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
6
Remove and Serve
Once the eggs are cooked to your preference, gently slide them out of the skillet onto a plate and serve immediately.
