Fry the Eggs
In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Crack the two large eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, or to your desired doneness.
