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 two to three minutes or until the egg yolk is completely set.
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, and older eggs float.
Storage: This recipe is best served right away. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To serve, reheat your leftovers in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Or, in a greased skillet over low to medium heat, allowing the eggs to reach a temperature of 165°F, in order to meet to FDA guidelines.
