Ingredients
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
2 Large eggs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely and coat the pan evenly.
Once the butter is foaming and the pan is hot, carefully crack both eggs directly into the skillet, keeping the yolks intact.
Cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until the egg whites are opaque and set, while the yolks remain bright yellow and runny in the center.
Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then transfer to a serving plate and enjoy immediately.
Comments
Butter, eggs, salt, and black pepper are pantry staples at every Charlotte grocer—no special trips needed. At roughly $1.50 for two eggs and butter, this costs under $1 per serving, making it one of the cheapest weeknight options. The stated 4 minutes is honest for actual cooking time once the pan heats, though total prep (butter melting, egg cracking) gets you to five. This is pure breakfast or quick lunch fare, not a family dinner, and leftovers are a non-issue since fried eggs do not reheat well and should be eaten hot off the pan.
