Ingredients

• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (or any plant-based oil)
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat for about 1 minute.

Step 2

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or your preferred plant-based oil) to the pan and let it heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.

Step 3

Crack the eggs carefully into a small bowl or cup, ensuring the yolks remain intact.

Step 4

Gently slide the eggs into the hot oil, keeping each yolk whole and separate.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and let the eggs cook undisturbed until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes. For firmer yolks, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the eggs to season.

Step 7

Use a spatula to carefully lift the fried eggs from the pan and transfer to a plate.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes such as toast, sautéed vegetables, or fresh salad.
