Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon butter (or cooking oil)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: paprika, garlic powder, chives, or parsley for extra flavor
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Pan
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add butter or oil and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
Step 2: Cook the Egg Whites
- Crack each egg gently into the pan, ensuring the yolks stay intact.
- Cook without touching for 2-3 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Step 3: Flip with Confidence
- Using a wide spatula, carefully slide it under the eggs and flip them over.
- Cook for 15-30 seconds on the second side—just enough to seal the yolk while keeping it runny.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
- Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately on toast, with avocado, or as part of your favorite breakfast dish.
Notes
- Use a Non-Stick Pan: This makes flipping much easier and prevents sticking.
- Low and Slow: Cooking on medium-low heat helps avoid overcooking the yolk.
- Flip with Confidence: A quick, smooth motion prevents yolk breakage.
- Season Creatively: Try adding paprika, hot sauce, or fresh herbs for a flavor boost.
