Follow The Directions

01

Step

1 hrs

Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. (1 minute)

02

Step

2 hrs

Gently crack the eggs into the skillet, taking care not to break the yolks. (30 seconds)

03

Step

15 mins

Cook until the whites are mostly set but still slightly translucent, about 1-2 minutes.

04

Step

45 mins

Carefully flip the eggs using a thin spatula. The key is a swift, confident motion. (15 seconds)

05

Step

5 mins

Cook on the second side for 30-45 seconds for a runny yolk, or longer if preferred. (45 seconds)

06

Step

Transfer the eggs to a plate and season immediately with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. (10 seconds)

For best results, use fresh, high-quality eggs. The yolks will be richer and more flavorful.
A well-seasoned non-stick pan is essential for easy flipping. If you don't have a non-stick pan, use plenty of butter to prevent sticking.
Adjust cooking time based on your preference for yolk firmness. For a firmer yolk, cook the eggs longer on both sides.
