Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp butter
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- bread and avocado (for serving)
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted and lightly foaming.
- Carefully break the eggs into the skillet.
- Cook the eggs until the whites are set on top and the yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes.
- Use a spatula to flip the eggs and let cook for another 5 to 10 seconds. Transfer to a plate and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Serve with toasted bread and sliced avocado.
Notes
- Putting a lid on the skillet sets the egg whites more quickly and keeps the yolks runny.
- Don't be discouraged if your first (or second or third) set of eggs don't turn out as planned. So many variables affect the cooking time of eggs that it can be a guessing game.
- If you have any melted butter left over, use it to baste the eggs before serving.
