Sunny-Side Up Fried Eggs Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (1/2 ounce; 14g)
- 2 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Begin by melting butter in your chosen skillet over medium heat. Tilt the pan to ensure even butter distribution, creating a non-stick surface. Gently crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cover with a glass lid. Let the eggs cook for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, or until the whites begin to set. Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 1 minute and 30 seconds. The goal is to achieve fully set whites while maintaining runny, luscious yolks. Once cooked to perfection, transfer the eggs to a plate. Season with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy your culinary masterpiece!
