1
Gather Ingredients
Collect all ingredients: 1 large egg, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of butter or oil for cooking.

2
Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. Allow it to heat until the butter is melted and bubbling or the oil is shimmering.
3
Crack the Egg
Gently crack the large egg into a small bowl to avoid shell fragments. Then, carefully slide the egg from the bowl into the heated pan.
4
Cook the Egg
Let the egg cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolk is to your desired doneness. If you prefer a sunny-side-up egg, leave it as is; for over-easy, gently flip the egg and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
5
Season the Egg
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper over the egg while it cooks.
6
Serve
Once cooked to your liking, carefully slide the egg onto a plate and serve immediately.
