- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter or other cooking oil or bacon grease
- 2 eggs
- kosher salt

Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter allow it to melt and coat the surface.
- When the butter begins to foam, crack the eggs into the pan, no need to crack 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.
- Once the whites are set and the edges begin to crisp, carefully flip each egg using a spatula. Cook for 2 to 3 additional minutes until the egg yolks are firm. Use the spatula to gently press down to ensure the egg yolk has broken and fully cooked through.
