Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon butter
1 egg
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs optional

Instructions

Heat a skillet to low heat.
Add about 1/2 tablespoon of butter and allow to melt.
Crack the egg into a preheated cast iron skillet, then break the yolk.
Cook until the egg is almost cooked through.
Turn off the skillet and flip the egg for the yolk to finish cooking all the way through. About 1-2 more minutes.
Top with salt and pepper.
Add herbs like parsley or thyme (optional).

Notes

Keep the skille ton low heat. Cooking too high will cook the white too quickly and while not cooking the yolks enough. And potentially burning the recipe.
Use a healthy nuetral oil like butter, avocado oil, lard, etc.
Make sure to choose a non-stick skillet so there is no sticking. I prefer my cast iron skillet or a ceramic coated pan for a healthy non-stick option.
