Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place a small, nonstick skillet over medium heat and allow it to come to temperature. Add the olive oil and allow to heat through.
- Crack the eggs one at a time into a small bowl and gently pour them into the pan.
- Allow the eggs to sit, undisturbed for about 2 minutes, until the white turns completely opaque on the bottom and begins to curl up on the edges.
- For sunny-side-up eggs, use a small spoon to baste any uncooked egg whites (likely surrounding the yolk) with hot oil from the pan. Once the whites are done to your liking, remove them from the pan.
- For over-easy, over-medium, or over-well fried eggs, gently slide a thin, flexible spatula underneath the egg yolk and carefully flip them one at a time.
- For over-easy eggs, cook for one minute more. For over-medium eggs, cook for 2 more minutes. For over-well eggs, cook for 3 minutes more.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully slide the spatula underneath the eggs once more and transfer to a plate. Season with salt and pepper, serve, and enjoy!
