Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Your Ingredients

    Gather all your ingredients: 2 large eggs, salt, black pepper, and your choice of butter or oil for cooking. Make sure all ingredients are within reach.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.

  2. 3

    Crack the Eggs

    Once the fat is heated, carefully crack 2 large eggs into the skillet. Be cautious not to break the yolks.

  3. 4

    Season the Eggs

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper evenly over the eggs.

  4. 5

    Cook the Eggs

    Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 3 to 4 minutes. Monitor the whites; they should become opaque and firm while the yolks remain slightly runny.

  5. 6

    Flip the Eggs

    Using a spatula, gently flip each egg. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness. The yolk should still be slightly runny.

  6. 7

    Remove and Serve

    Carefully lift the eggs from the skillet with a spatula and transfer them to a plate. Serve immediately.
