1
Prepare the Cooking Surface
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Allow it to heat until the butter is melted or the oil is shimmering.
2
Crack the Eggs
Gently crack the eggs one at a time into a small bowl. This helps to avoid any shell pieces and gives you a chance to check the freshness of the eggs.

3
Cook the Eggs
Carefully slide the eggs from the bowl into the heated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
4
Season the Eggs
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the eggs while they are cooking.
5
Finish Cooking
If you prefer your yolks cooked more, you can cover the skillet with a lid to steam the tops for an additional minute.
6
Serve
Using a spatula, gently lift the eggs from the skillet and serve immediately on a plate.
