Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.

Step 2

Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and allow it to melt completely, tilting the pan to coat it evenly with butter.

Step 3

Crack the eggs gently into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. If necessary, crack the eggs into a small bowl one at a time and pour them individually into the pan.

Step 4

Season the eggs with sea salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 5

Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. For firmer yolks, you can cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 6

For a traditional sunny-side-up finish, cover the skillet with a lid during the last minute of cooking to ensure the tops of the whites are cooked through.

Step 7

Once cooked to your preferred level of doneness, use a spatula to carefully transfer the eggs to a serving plate.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving warm.
