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

2
Heat the Butter or Oil
In a non-stick skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble, or the oil is shimmering.
3
Crack the Eggs
Carefully crack the 2 eggs into the skillet, ensuring that the yolks remain intact. You can crack them directly into the pan or into a bowl first and then slide them in.
4
Season the Eggs
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper evenly over the eggs for seasoning.
5
Fry the Eggs
Allow the eggs to cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the whites are fully set and the edges begin to crisp. If you prefer your yolks less runny, you can cover the skillet with a lid to steam the tops slightly.
6
Serve
Once cooked to your liking, carefully slide a spatula under the eggs and transfer them to a plate. Serve immediately while hot.
