Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick or well-seasoned frying pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the unsalted butter to the pan and let it melt completely, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium-low and let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks reach your desired doneness. Cover the pan with a lid for the last 30-60 seconds if you prefer your yolks slightly cooked but still runny.

Step 5

Season the eggs with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the fried eggs to a plate using a spatula.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. This dish pairs beautifully with a side of sliced avocado, sautéed greens, or bacon to keep it keto-friendly.
