1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients. Ensure that the eggs are fresh and at room temperature for optimal frying.

2
Heat the Oil
In a non-stick frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
3
Crack the Eggs
Gently crack the eggs into the pan, being careful not to break the yolks. If you prefer, you can crack them into a bowl first and then slide them into the pan.
4
Season the Eggs
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the eggs while they cook.
5
Fry the Eggs
Cook the eggs until the whites are fully set and the edges are crispy, about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side-up. For over-easy, carefully flip the eggs and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
6
Serve
Slide the eggs onto a plate. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and sliced avocado before serving.
