If you've ever wondered how to make over hard eggs, this recipe is for you! In just a few minutes, you'll be on your way to perfectly cooked eggs with a solid yolk. It's the best fried egg for a no-mess breakfast!
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-low (closer to low than medium) heat. Add butter. When butter starts to melt and bubble, swirl it around pan. Add eggs, being careful not to break the yolks. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the whites of the eggs are mostly firm. The yolk will still be runny at this point. If desired, break yolk by poking it with a spatula. This causes it to spread out and cook more quickly.
Use a thin spatula to flip egg and cook for 2-3 minutes more or until yolk is firm and fully cooked.
Notes
If you’re not a pro at cracking eggs, that’s okay! Crack them in a bowl before adding them to the pan. It’s easier to fish out any shells that way, and easier to add them to the pan without breaking the yolks.
If desired and you have a good nonstick pan, you can use less butter/oil.
