1
Gather Ingredients
Collect all the necessary ingredients: eggs, butter, salt, black pepper, and any optional ingredients you wish to use.

2
Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and become slightly bubbly but not browned.
3
Crack the Eggs
Carefully crack the eggs into a small bowl to avoid any shell pieces. Once the butter is ready, gently slide the eggs from the bowl into the skillet.
4
Cook the Eggs
Let the eggs cook without moving them for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges are set and the whites are fully cooked. For over-easy eggs, gently flip them with a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
5
Season the Eggs
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the eggs to taste while they are cooking. If using optional ingredients like chives or hot sauce, add them at this point as well.
6
Serve
Once cooked to your liking, remove the eggs from the skillet and serve immediately on a plate. Enjoy your fried eggs warm!
