Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add the butter, allowing it to melt.
1 tablespoon butter
Once the butter is lightly sizzling, crack the egg into the skillet, and season with salt and pepper.
1 large egg*, kosher salt to taste, black pepper to taste
Baste the egg with any excess butter to help cook the top egg whites.
Cook for two to three minutes or until the edges of the egg turn lacy and golden brown. Then, gently turn the egg with a silicone spatula, and cook for 30 seconds.
Remove the pan from the heat, and transfer to a plate to serve.

*Use fresh eggs for the best results. To test your eggs’ freshness, place them in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs sink while older eggs float.
