½
tablespoon
butter
1
egg
salt
pepper

½ tablespoon butter
Crack egg into pan over melted butter
1 egg
Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper
salt,
pepper
Cook over low heat until most of the white has set
Notes
Heat pan over low heat. This creates a more even heat in the pan.
Use butter or olive oil or rendered bacon grease
Cook over low heat. If the heat is too high, the white of the egg will become crispy around the edges
Cook just until the egg white has fully cooked - about 2-3 minutes
Cook just one or two eggs at a time and make certain eggs don't touch each other. Don't overcrowd the pan.
Wipe out pan between each batch of eggs if cooking multiple batches
Serve immediately
