Ingredients

• 1 large egg (or as many as you like)
• 2 tsp olive oil, butter, or lard
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat a nonstick pan with a bit of oil or butter over medium-low to medium heat.
2. Crack the egg into the middle of the pan (or to the side, if cooking more than one).
3. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the white is mostly set with just a little translucency near the yolk.
4. Gently flip the egg with a turner.
5. Cook the yolk side down for 15-20 seconds, or a bit longer for a firmer yolk, then flip back onto your plate.
6. Season with salt and pepper and enjoy.

Notes: If you don't want to flip the eggs, add a splash of water to the pan and spoon it over the top of the egg, or cover the pan with a lid, to steam the top instead.
