The perfect over-easy eggs have a golden runny yolk and crispy edges. Perfect for eating with toast and bacon or making a gooey breakfast sandwich. My favorite way to eat a fried egg!

Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter or other cooking oil or bacon grease
- 2 eggs
- kosher salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter allow it to melt and coat the surface. Do not skimp and use at least a full tablespoon per batch.
- When the butter begins to foam, crack the eggs into the pan, being careful not to break the yolks. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Cook for 2 minutes or until the egg whites start to set and become opaque but the yolk is still runny. The edges may start to look crispy.
- Carefully flip each egg using a spatula. Remove the pan from direct heat and let the eggs sit for 1 minute. Serve immediately.
Notes
Tips:
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl or ramekin and gently pour into the hot pan.
- The residual heat from the pan will fully cook the egg white while ensuring you don't accidentally overcook the egg.
