1
Prepare the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil.
2
Crack the Eggs
Once the butter is melted or the oil is hot, crack the eggs carefully into the skillet.
3
Cook the Eggs
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. For over-easy eggs, carefully flip them and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
4
Season
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs to taste.
5
Serve
Use a spatula to carefully transfer the fried eggs to a plate and serve immediately.
