Step 1

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter to the pan. Once the butter is hot and melted, carefully crack the eggs into the pan. Cook until the bottom of the egg is opaque white and the edges of the egg are beginning to brown.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of water to the hot pan to create steam and place the lid on the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg white is fully cooked through but the yolk is still runny.

Step 3

Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
