Ingredients
- 4 large free-range eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 2
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt completely, swirling it to coat the surface evenly.
Step 3
Carefully crack each egg into the skillet, ensuring the yolks remain intact. If using a small skillet, cook two eggs at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Step 4
Sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly over the eggs.
Step 5
Let the eggs cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites start to set. For sunny-side-up eggs, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional minute until the whites are fully cooked but the yolks remain runny.
Step 6
For over-easy fried eggs, after the whites are partially set, gently flip each egg using a spatula. Cook on the other side for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until the whites are fully cooked but yolks remain soft.
Step 7
Carefully transfer the eggs to serving plates using a spatula.
Step 8
Garnish with additional black pepper if desired and serve immediately.
