Ingredients

4 large eggs
2 tbsp unsalted butter
pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp chives chopped

Instructions

Set a nonstick pan on MEDIUM heat. Add the unsalted butter. Once the butter has melted, crack 2 eggs into the hot pan.
Turn the heat to LOW and cook the eggs for 2 minutes or until the egg white begins to set and the egg yolk is still runny.
Flip the eggs with a spatula. Let them cook for an additional 30 seconds. When done, the egg yolk should still be runny in the center.
Remove the eggs from the pan. Place on a plate and season with freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with chopped chives.

Notes

Crack your eggs into a bowl first so you can carefully slide them into the pan, preventing any violent breakage of yolks.
Flip the egg gently with a thin spatula so you don't break the yolk.
Aside from the black pepper, I sprinkle a little sea salt or flaky kosher salt for an elevated flavor.
