Step 1: Heat the Pan
Place a frying pan on medium heat.
Add butter or oil and allow it to melt and coat the pan.
Step 2: Crack the Eggs
Crack the eggs gently and place them into the pan.
Try to keep the yolks whole and centered.
Step 3: Cook the Egg Whites
Allow the eggs to cook without moving them.
The egg whites will slowly turn from clear to white.
Step 4: Control the Heat
Reduce heat to low so the eggs cook gently.
This keeps the yolk soft and creamy.
Step 5: Season
Sprinkle a small amount of salt and black pepper on top.
Step 6: Check Doneness
The eggs are ready when:
- The whites are fully cooked
- The yolk remains soft and shiny
Cooking time usually takes 2–4 minutes.
Step 7: Serve Immediately
Carefully remove the eggs with a spatula and place them on a plate.
