Perfect Over Easy Eggs

First, I hope you try to use and consume eggs that come from sustainable farms.

Begin with great tools. I have a wonderful small non-stick green pan and a little OXO spatula that help make perfect eggs simple and awesome every time. See recommended products, if interested.

Warm your non-stick pan to medium heat. I use a little butter, about 1 TBSP for 1 egg. When the butter is melted and bubbly, crack your egg. Hover the cracked egg over the pan. Gently pull the shell and let the egg drop out on its own. You need about 2 minutes if your pan is heated correctly. Look for whites to become firm enough to flip. There should be very little clear albumin at this point. The yolk should still look runny (or not hardened). This is when I like to add salt and pepper. Just sprinkle a small layer of each, to your taste. Use a flexible spatula. Tenderly slide under the egg. Try not to pierce the yolk. Swiftly flip the eggs over. If you have enough butter in your pan, the egg might be loose enough to flip over just using a flick of your wrist.

Cook your flipped egg for only 1 minute. ENJOY!
