Ingredients

• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.

Step 2

2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.

Step 3

3. Carefully crack the eggs into a small bowl, ensuring you do not break the yolks. This will help you pour them into the pan without shells.

Step 4

4. Gently slide the eggs from the bowl into the skillet, ensuring they stay whole and do not merge. Tilt the pan, if necessary, to keep them separate.

Step 5

5. Allow the eggs to cook without moving them for about 3 minutes, letting the whites firm up while keeping the yolks soft. For over-easy eggs, cover the pan with a lid to cook the tops for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

6. Once the edges are crisp and the whites are set, carefully remove the eggs from the skillet using a spatula.

Step 7

7. Season the eggs with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped chives for an added burst of flavor.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately with your choice of toast, salad, or sautéed vegetables.
