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.
- Cook until the white is almost cooked through. About 2-3 minutes
- Flip the egg and cook for about another minute or 2. The yolk should almost be cooked through, but still be a little runny and gel like.
- Top with salt and pepper.
- Add herbs like parsley or thyme (optional).
Notes
- Only cook 1-2 eggs at a time to avoid over crowding the pan.
- Heat over low heat. Cooking too high will overcook or potentially burn the eggs without cooking the yolk enough.
- Choose a non-stick pan for cooking so the eggs don’t stick. I like using a cast iron skillet or a ceramic coated pan for a healthy non-stick option.
