Directions
-
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter.
-
Allow the butter to melt completely, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
-
Once the butter foams slightly but does not brown, gently crack the egg into the center of the pan.
-
Cook the egg undisturbed until the white is set but the yolk remains runny, about 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Optionally, spoon the hot melted butter over the top of the yolk for even cooking.
-
Slide the cooked egg onto a warm plate and serve immediately.
