1
Prepare the Egg
Take 1 egg out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to avoid cracking when cooking.

2
Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
3
Crack the Egg
Gently crack the egg into a small bowl to ensure the yolk remains intact. Then, carefully slide the egg from the bowl into the heated pan.
4
Cook the Egg
Let the egg cook for about 2-3 minutes for a runny yolk or longer if you prefer a fully cooked yolk. You can cover the pan with a lid to help the egg cook evenly.
5
Season the Egg
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the egg while it cooks, according to your taste.
6
Serve the Egg
Once cooked to your liking, carefully slide a spatula under the egg and transfer it onto a plate. Serve immediately.
