Ingredients
- Salt
- Eggs
- Egg
- Pepper
Directions
- Carefully break an egg into a small bowl. (Repeat later if cooking multiple eggs.)
- Heat oil in a large (and preferably non-stick) sauté pan over medium heat.
- Once the pan is fully heated, carefully pour in the egg, and let it cook until the whites are completely set but the yolks are still soft.
- Remove immediately and serve for sunny-side-up eggs.
- Or, flip the egg over and cook for an additional 10-30 seconds for over-easy eggs, or 30-60 seconds for over-medium eggs, or 1-2 minutes for over-hard eggs.
- Remove and serve immediately, seasoned with salt and pepper if you’d like.
