Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes.
- Add butter to the skillet, swirling to coat the surface evenly.
- Gently crack the egg into the skillet, cooking until the whites are fully set but the yolk remains runny for a sunny-side up egg.
- For over-easy, medium, or hard, wait until the whites are partially set, then flip the egg and cook to your preferred yolk doneness.
- Carefully transfer the cooked egg to a plate, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
