Ingredients

• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers.

Step 2

Add 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt completely, swirling the pan gently to combine with the oil.

Step 3

Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl, one at a time, ensuring no shell fragments remain, then gently slide the eggs into the skillet.

Step 4

Sprinkle the eggs with 0.25 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 5

Cook the eggs without disturbing them until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, approximately 3-4 minutes. For firmer yolks, cook an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Carefully slide a spatula under the eggs and transfer them to a plate.

Step 7

Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish and serve immediately.
