Instructions
- Make the smoky mayo: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, hot sauce, and smoked paprika. (Or substitute Special Sauce or Russian Dressing for Big Mac-style flavors.)

- Fry the egg: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium low heat. Add the eggs and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds black pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the whites are firm but the yolk is still runny (do not flip).
