Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cooking Surface

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.

  2. 2

    Crack the Egg

    Carefully crack the egg into a small bowl, ensuring that the yolk remains intact. This will help in easier transfer to the skillet.

  3. 3

    Cook the Egg

    Once the butter is bubbling (but not browned), gently slide the egg into the skillet. Cook for about 2-4 minutes depending on your desired doneness: 2 minutes for sunny-side up, 3 minutes for over-easy, and 4 minutes for over-hard.

  4. 4

    Season the Egg

    Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the egg while it cooks. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the egg has cooked to your preference, carefully slide a spatula under the egg and transfer it to a plate. Enjoy your perfectly cooked egg!
