Ingredients
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
2 Large eggs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat a non-stick skillet or small frying pan over medium-low heat for 1 minute.
Add the butter and allow it to melt completely, tilting the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Crack both eggs directly into the center of the pan, being careful not to break the yolks.
Cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes until the egg whites are set and opaque, but the yolks remain runny.
Slide the eggs onto a plate, season lightly with kosher salt and black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at every Charlotte grocer, none require a second stop. At roughly forty cents per serving, this is one of the cheapest proteins available. Five minutes is honest; there's no hidden prep, and two eggs over easy is a straightforward weeknight breakfast or quick dinner. The dish does not reheat well, but that's fine for a same-sitting meal, and anyone in the household can make it without fuss or attention while other tasks run.
