1
Gather Ingredients
Collect all the ingredients needed for frying the 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 heat until the butter melts or the oil shimmers.
3
Crack the Eggs
Carefully crack each egg into the skillet, ensuring not to break the yolks. You can crack the eggs directly in the pan or into a bowl first and then slide them into the pan.
4
Season the Eggs
Sprinkle the eggs with salt and black pepper to taste while they are cooking.
5
Cook to Desired Doneness
Allow the eggs to cook for about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side up. For over-easy, gently flip the eggs after 2 minutes and cook for an additional 30 seconds. For over-hard, cook for 1-2 more minutes after flipping.
6
Serve
Once cooked to your liking, carefully transfer the eggs to a plate using a spatula. Enjoy them hot!
