Eggs & Seasoning

2 count Large eggs1 tsp kosher salt1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Fat for Cooking

1 tbs Unsalted butter0 tbs neutral oil (optional — vegetable or canola)

Finish & Garnish (optional)

1 tsp chopped fresh chives or parsley1 tsp hot sauce or salsa

Method

Prep

Bring two large eggs to room temperature for 5–10 minutes if stored cold. This helps them cook more evenly.

Crack the eggs into a small bowl or ramekin separately to check for shells and quality.

Cooking (Fried — Sunny Side or Over Easy)

Heat the pan

Place a nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and let it melt and foam but not brown (about 30–45 seconds). If using oil, use 1 teaspoon oil with 1/2 tablespoon butter to raise the smoke point.

Add eggs

Gently slide the cracked eggs from the bowl into the skillet, spacing them slightly apart. Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds (about 1/8–1/4 tsp) black pepper evenly over the eggs.

Cook for sunny-side

For sunny-side-up: cover the pan with a lid or a sheet of foil to trap a little steam. Cook on low until whites are set and edges are just crisp, about 2–3 minutes. The yolks will remain runny.

Cook for over-easy (optional)

For over-easy: when whites are mostly set (about 2 minutes), carefully loosen edges with a spatula and gently flip each egg. Cook 15–30 seconds more for a very runny yolk, 30–45 seconds for slightly set yolk.

Finish

Transfer eggs to a plate using a spatula. Taste and, if desired, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste) and the rest of the black pepper. Add 1 teaspoon chopped herbs and/or 1 teaspoon hot sauce or salsa if using.

Serving & Tips

Serve immediately while hot. Two eggs are excellent on toast, with a slice of avocado, or alongside breakfast potatoes.

Tips: Use low heat to avoid rubbery whites. If you prefer poached or scrambled eggs instead, indicate which method you want and adjust cooking times accordingly.
