Basted Eggs
Report
Basted Eggs are cooked by frying eggs in butter and then gently steaming them under a lid with added water. This method sets the whites while leaving the yolks soft and tender. The eggs are seasoned with salt and black pepper and offer a classic breakfast option with a moist, delicate texture.
Description
This recipe for Basted Eggs uses butter melted in a non-stick skillet to gently cook the eggs. The eggs are cracked directly into the pan and cooked without moving until the whites mostly set. Adding water and covering the pan creates steam that finishes cooking the whites evenly and gently while keeping the yolks soft.
The result is eggs with firm whites and yolks that remain runny or slightly soft, depending on cooking time. These eggs are seasoned simply with salt and black pepper and can be served as part of a breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 egg
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a 10" non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt butter.
- Once butter is melted, crack eggs one at a time and add to the skillet.
- Allow to cook without moving until the whites are set, about 2 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons water to the skillet (it's ok if the water is on the set egg whites) and place a lid on the skillet.

- Remove from the pan immediately so the eggs don't overcook.
- Season with salt & pepper to taste.
