Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large eggs fresh
- 1 tsp butter or oil for frying
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat butter or oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the pan, keeping them spaced apart.
- Cook until the whites are set and edges start to crisp, about 2 minutes.
- Gently flip the eggs using a spatula. Be careful not to break the yolks.
- Reduce heat slightly and cook another 1–2 minutes until yolks are firm and fully set.

Notes
For extra crisp edges, use avocado oil or a mix of butter and oil. These eggs are perfect for burgers, sandwiches, or grain bowls. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
