Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  1. Place a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat, melt butter or heat olive until warm.
  2. Lower heat to low medium, then crack in egg and cook for about 2 minutes. At this point, the egg whites are going to be firm while the yolk is still going to be slightly runny.
  3. With the help of a rubber spatula, flip egg and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the other side. After about 1 minute of cooking, use a spatula to gently press down the yolk so that it cooks through.
  4. Slide out the egg on a plate, then serve with salt and pepper to your likings.
