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.
Step 3
Once hot, add the butter to the center of the pan and heat until melted.
Step 4
Add the egg to the pan and let cook for 1 minute.
Step 5
Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes. (Note: If you prefer your egg yolk to be cooked more/less runny, reduce the heat to low during the covered cooking step and cook until desired doneness.)
Step 6
Once the egg whites look set/cooked, and the yolk is jiggly but not fully raw, use a plastic spatula to lift the cooked egg out of the pan onto a plate.
Step 7
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

Chef's notes
You can always keep it simple with a sprinkle of salt and pepper—these seasonings complement the natural flavor of the eggs without overpowering them.
Additionally, fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill can add a burst of freshness and color to fried eggs when sprinkled over them just before serving.
If you like a bit of heat, hot sauce or chili flakes can add a spicy kick.
