Preparation
Step 1
Crack the egg into a small bowl and set aside.
Step 2
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Let heat up for 30 seconds. Once hot, add the butter to the center of the pan and heat until melted.
Step 3
Add egg to the pan and let cook for 1 minute. Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Once the egg white looks set/cooked, and the yolk is jiggly but not fully raw, use a plastic spatula to flip the egg. Cook for 1 more minute.
Step 4
Use the spatula to lift the cooked egg out of the pan onto a plate. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper and serve.

Chef's notes
Although you’re using a non-stick pan, don’t skip the butter! It not only helps with flavor but also provides additional non-stick qualities.
Use a spatula that’s large enough to lift the egg without having too much hang over the sides. Gently slide the spatula under the egg and flip it swiftly but carefully.
Cooking over easy eggs over medium-low heat is key. This allows the whites to set while keeping the yolk gloriously runny. Just be patient and avoid high heat for the best results.
