1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients: eggs, butter, salt, and black pepper.
2
Melt the Butter
In a non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.
3
Crack the Eggs
Carefully crack 4 large eggs into a bowl, being cautious not to break the yolks.
4
Cook the Eggs
Once the butter is melted, gently pour the eggs into the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set.
5
Season the Eggs
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper over the eggs while they are cooking.
6
Finish Cooking
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the yolks reach your desired doneness (runny or firm).

7
Add Garnishes
Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped chives and, if desired, add shredded cheese on top.
8
Serve
Serve the side egg dish warm as a delicious accompaniment to your meal.
