Step 1

Heat a skillet over medium-low, allowing it to fully pre-heat (3-5 minutes).

Step 2

Add the butter (or fat of choice) and swirl to coat the surface of the skillet.

Step 3

Crack the egg into the frying pan and cook until the whites are set and the yolk is still liquid (sunny side up).

Step 4

For over easy, over medium, or over hard, cook the egg until the whites are 50-75% set, then flip the egg and continue cooking on the second side until the yolk is cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 5

Transfer the egg to a plate and season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
