- 1 tbsp ( 15 mL ) butter or oil
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper (optional)
Instructions
-
Melt butter in small nonstick frying over medium heat.
-
Break eggs into frying pan. Cook until done as desired.
For sunny side up, cook just until whites are set.
For over-easy, cook until whites are set. Turn over and cook just long enough for a white film to form over yolks, about 30 seconds.
For over well, cook until whites are set. Turn eggs over and cook until eggs are completely set, about 1 minute.
For well done or steam-fried eggs, prepare sunny-side up eggs. Cover skillet during last minute of cooking, or spoon 1 tsp (5 mL) water over each egg and cover pan. Cook until done as desired.
-
Transfer eggs to plate, yolk up. Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
You can spray the pan with cooking spray instead of using butter, if desired.
