Instructions
- In a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet, melt ½ tablespoon butter over medium-low heat until the butter starts to foam. (Tip: If using a stainless steel or cast iron skillet, heat it for several minutes on medium-high heat (until a drop of water dances on the pan), then reduce the heat and add butter. This will make the skillet act non-stick.)
- Add the eggs and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny. Don’t flip!
- Remove the eggs to a plate and serve.
Notes
*Fresh eggs are best for frying because the whites hold their shape. The whites on older eggs tend to spread: simply use a spatula to pull back the egg whites towards the middle (it just won’t look as pretty!).
**The slower the better with eggs: they can easily get overcooked. Note that if you’re cooking a second batch, you may need to lower the heat to avoid overcooking the egg since the skillet is already hot.
