Ingredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 large eggs
Pinch of kosher salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Melt the Butter: In a small nonstick frying pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly with the butter.
- Add and Season Eggs: Crack 3 large eggs into the pan and season them with a pinch of kosher salt.
- Cook Until Whites Set: Allow the eggs to cook without disturbing them until the whites are almost fully set and opaque, except for a small 1/2-inch area around the yolks, for about 2 minutes.
- Carefully Flip: If needed, use a spatula to separate the eggs gently. Slide the spatula under one egg, ensuring it’s centered beneath the yolk. Carefully flip the egg and repeat with the second egg.
- Season and Final Cooking: Season the eggs with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Continue cooking until the whites are completely set, approximately 30 seconds more.
- Plate and Serve: Once done, gently slide the cooked eggs onto a plate and serve immediately.
