Ingredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 large eggs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Fry the eggs: Place a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When it begins to brown, crack 2 eggs, a distance apart, into the butter. Lower the heat, season them lightly with salt and cook 2 to 3 minutes or longer, if desired. Repeat with the remaining 2 eggs.
- More cooked: If you want your egg yolks cooked through, add a splash of water to the pans, cover and cook for 1 to 2 additional minutes. This steams the eggs. Alternatively, you can run the pans under the broiler for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
- A fried variation: Crack an egg in the pan to fry and add two additional yolks. The 3:1 white to yolk ratio makes for a higher protein, lower cholesterol egg. Fry according to above instructions.
