Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- ½ tbsp Butter
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter.
- Once the butter has melted, crack 1 or 2 eggs into the pan. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Let the egg cook for 2-3 minutes. (Large eggs may take 3 minutes) You want the egg whites to be firm, but the yolk is still runny.
- Use a spatula to gently flip the eggs and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Gently slide the eggs out of the pan and place them on toast or a plate. The yolk should be jammy and slightly runny with fully cooked egg whites.
Notes
Tips To Making The Best Over Medium Eggs
- Use fresh eggs. The fresher the better. Older eggs tend to spread drastically when cracked.
- Use low heat. Low and slow is the best way to cook your eggs to avoid them being overcooked.
- Grease the pan using butter (preferred) or cooking oil.
- Use a non-stick skillet. This is essential to help flip the egg so it doesn't stick to the pan, and for sliding the egg out of the pan.
- Cook 1-2 eggs at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Gently flip the egg using a rubber non-stick spatula. As the eggs fry, use the spatula to pull up the edges so they don't stick to the pan.
