2 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 10 min.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 eggs

Directions

  • In a 7- or 8-in. skillet or omelet pan, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Break eggs, one at a time, into a custard cup or saucer, then gently
  • slide into the pan. Immediately reduce heat to low. Cook slowly
  • until the whites are completely set and the yolks begin to thicken.
  • For eggs sunny-side up, cover the pan and cook until the yolk
  • thickens, but are not hard. For basted eggs, spoon butter in pan

  • to cook both sides. Yield: 2 servings.
