Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp butter or bacon grease
  • sprinkle sea salt
  • sprinkle ground pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. First, add butter to a large skillet over low medium heat. Once butter has melted, add eggs to skillet. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper if desired.
  2. Cook for 3 minutes on medium low heat or until egg whites have become completely opaque.
  3. Carefully flip over eggs. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. The eggs are done once the yolk has puffed up (see photos above for visual reference) and egg whites have crispy edges.
  4. Finally, remove from pan and serve!

Notes

  • Both butter and bacon grease can be used.  See photos above for how to use bacon grease.
  • These eggs are best cooked low and slow.  Do not try to rush through this process!  Perfectly cooked over hard eggs take time.
  • Once the yolk has cooked through, it will begin to puff up.  See photos above for reference.  This is how you can tell the egg is done cooking.
  • Omit sea salt and/or pepper if desired.
