Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon butter
- 1 large egg
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick pan over low heat and allow it to warm up gently to ensure even cooking.
- Add butter: Add ½ tablespoon of butter to the warm pan. Allow it to melt completely and become bubbly but not browned.
- Crack the egg: Carefully crack the egg into the pan over the melted butter, making sure to keep the yolk intact.
- Season: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper evenly over the egg according to your taste preferences.
- Cook the white: Maintain the pan on low heat and cook until most of the egg white is set but the yolk is still soft and slightly runny.
- Flip the egg: Using a spatula, gently flip the egg over to cook the other side, being careful to keep the yolk intact. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Flip back and finish: Flip the egg back to its original side to finish the cooking process, allowing it to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve the perfect over medium texture.
- Serve: Remove the egg from the pan carefully and place it onto a serving plate. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use low heat to prevent the egg from burning or becoming crispy.
- Be gentle when flipping to avoid breaking the yolk.
- Adjust cooking times slightly depending on how runny you prefer your yolk.
- Butter adds richness but you can substitute with oil or non-stick spray if desired.
