Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Crack the Egg

    Gently crack the egg into a small bowl, being careful not to break the yolk.

  2. 2

    Season the Egg

    Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to the bowl with the egg.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a non-stick skillet, heat the butter or oil over medium heat until melted and hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Egg

    Carefully slide the egg from the bowl into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set, and the yolk is still runny for sunny-side up. For scrambled eggs, whisk the egg in the bowl before cooking and stir continuously in the skillet until fully cooked.

    If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese or chopped herbs on top of the egg during the last minute of cooking. Add hot sauce to taste.
