Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Gather Ingredients

    Collect all ingredients needed for the Side Eggs, including eggs, butter, salt, black pepper, and any optional ingredients you prefer.

  2. 2

    Prep Chives (if using)

    Wash and finely chop the chives, setting them aside for later.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Melt Butter

    In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan evenly.

  2. 4

    Crack Eggs

    Crack the eggs directly into the skillet once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling.

  3. 5

    Season Eggs

    Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the eggs while they cook.

  4. 6

    Cook to Desired Doneness

    Allow the eggs to cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred doneness (runny or firm).

  5. 7

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, sprinkle the chopped chives and shredded cheese over the eggs during the last minute of cooking to allow the cheese to melt.

  6. 8

    Serve

    Carefully transfer the cooked eggs to a plate. Add hot sauce to taste if desired.
