Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place a medium non-stick frying pan on the stove over medium-low heat.
Step 2
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and allow it to melt gently. Swirl the butter around to coat the entire pan.
Step 3
Crack the eggs gently into a small bowl, one at a time, ensuring the yolk remains intact.
Step 4
Carefully pour the eggs from the bowl into the buttered pan, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Step 5
Sprinkle 0.25 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper evenly over the eggs.
Step 6
Cover the pan with a lid to ensure thorough cooking, allowing the whites to firm up while the yolks remain creamy, approximately 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.
Step 7
Check the eggs for desired doneness. The whites should be set, and the yolks should jiggle slightly for a runny texture.
Step 8
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the eggs to ensure they're not sticking to the pan.
Step 9
Carefully slide the eggs onto a plate and serve immediately for the best texture.
Step 10
Enjoy your perfect pan-fried eggs with toast or as a complement to your favorite breakfast dish.
