Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs optional
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
- Melt butter in the skillet.
- Add raw eggs carefully one at a time to the melted butter.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes. The egg whites should be set.
- Carefully flip (trying not to break the yolk) and cook the second side for another 30 seconds for best results. They should have a runny egg yolk and set whites.
- Sprinkle with a dash of salt and pepper and any other seasonings if desired..
- Serve.
Notes
- Only cook 1-2 eggs at a time to avoid over crowding the pan.
- Heat over medium low heat. Cooking too high may overcook or potentially burn the whites.
- Choose a non-stick frying 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.
- Use fresh eggs. Older ones tend to spread apart more and not hold their shape as well.
