Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Gently wash the eggs under cold water and set them aside. Prepare the fresh chives by washing them thoroughly and finely chopping them.
Step 2
In a non-stick frying pan, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Heat the pan over medium-low heat until the butter is fully melted and starts to bubble.
Step 3
Carefully crack the eggs into the pan, ensuring not to break the yolks. To avoid cracking, you can first crack each egg into a small bowl and then slide it gently into the pan.
Step 4
Season the eggs with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Avoid adding any salt to keep the sodium levels low.
Step 5
Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes for sunny side up, or longer if you prefer the yolk more set.
Step 6
Tilt the pan occasionally and use a spatula to baste the top of the eggs with the hot butter and oil for a slightly cooked yolk texture.
Step 7
Once the eggs reach your desired level of doneness, carefully remove them from the pan using a spatula.
Step 8
Transfer the eggs to a serving plate and sprinkle with freshly chopped chives for a burst of flavor and a pop of color.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot. These eggs pair perfectly with whole-grain toast or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
