Ingredients

2 large eggs
1 tablespoon butter
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat.

Step 2

Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly. Be careful not to let it brown.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into the pan, ensuring the yolks remain intact.

Step 4

Let the eggs cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to crisp and the whites are mostly set.

Step 5

Season the eggs with salt and black pepper, according to taste.

Step 6

For sunny-side-up eggs, cover the pan with a lid for an additional 1-2 minutes until the yolks set to your desired level of firmness.

Step 7

For over-easy eggs, gently flip the eggs using a spatula and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 8

Carefully remove the eggs from the pan using a spatula and serve immediately.
