Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter or neutral oil
- 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh herbs (optional, parsley or chives)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.
Step 2
Add the unsalted butter or neutral oil to the skillet, allowing it to melt and evenly coat the bottom of the pan.
Step 3
Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet without breaking the yolks. Avoid overcrowding the pan if cooking multiple eggs.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
To ensure extra soft whites, cover the skillet with a lid for the final minute of cooking.
Step 6
Season lightly with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately as-is or atop bread, salads, or other dishes.
