Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp butter or cooking oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Heat the Pan:
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
-
Crack the Eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl (to avoid broken yolks) and gently pour them into the pan.
-
Cook the Whites:
- Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are mostly set but the yolks are still jiggly.
-
Flip the Eggs:
- Carefully slide a spatula under the eggs and flip them gently. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the yolk to thicken slightly while remaining partially runny.
-
Season and Serve:
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with your favorite breakfast sides.
Notes
💡 Tips:
- For perfectly flipped eggs, use a wide spatula and a gentle hand.
- Add a sprinkle of paprika or herbs for extra flavor.
