Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Ghee (clarified butter) or coconut oil
• 1 pinch Sea salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper (optional, freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron pan over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the ghee or coconut oil to the pan and let it melt completely, swirling it around to coat the surface evenly.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into a small bowl one at a time to avoid any shell pieces, then slide them gently into the skillet.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the eggs cook undisturbed until the egg whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 5

If you prefer your yolks less runny, you can cover the pan with a lid for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cooked eggs with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the eggs to a serving plate using a spatula, keeping the yolks intact.

Step 8

Serve immediately as-is, or pair with sautéed greens, roasted sweet potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete Whole30 meal.
