Things You'll Need:
- Frying pan (preferably non-stick)
- Eggs
- Butter
-
Step 1
For 1-3 eggs, a small frying pan will suffice. Any more, use a large pan.
Non-stick frying pans are preferred, otherwise the egg will most likely stick to the pan during the cooking process. -
Step 2
Place pan over medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Make sure the butter covers the entire cooking process to help the egg from sticking.
-
Step 3
After the pan has heated and the butter begins to sizzle, carefully break the egg(s) into the pan. Dropping the eggs from too high will result in a broken yolk. Be careful!
-
Step 4
Cover the pan to help ensure cooking on both top and bottom. Cooking times vary based on your preference. For easy done, cook egg(s) for 2-2.5 minutes. For medium, cook egg(s) for 3-3.5 minutes. For well done, cook egg(s) for 4+ minutes.
-
Step 5
Remove egg(s) from pan immediately (and carefully) to avoid overcooking and enjoy!
