Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Step 1: Begin by gathering all the ingredients and ensuring the eggs are brought to room temperature by letting them sit out for about 15 minutes. This helps them cook more evenly.
Step 2
Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet and allow it to melt completely, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly.
Step 3
Step 3: Carefully crack each egg into the skillet. To avoid breaking the yolk, crack the eggs into a small bowl one at a time first, and then gently slide them into the skillet.
Step 4
Step 4: Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed until the whites are mostly set, about 2-3 minutes. Season the eggs with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of ground black pepper.
Step 5
Step 5: For sunny-side-up eggs, cover the skillet with a lid or a piece of foil for about 1-2 more minutes until the whites are fully set, but the yolks remain runny.
Step 6
Step 6: For over-easy eggs, gently flip each egg with a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how runny you prefer the yolks.
Step 7
Step 7: Once cooked to your liking, gently slide the eggs onto a serving plate using a spatula. Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly fried eggs!
