The flip that defines a diner order: eggs turned once for a few seconds so a thin veil sets over the yolk while the center stays runny enough to break over toast.

Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Before you cook
- Crack each egg into a separate small cup.
Steps
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 90 seconds.
- Add the butter and swirl it to coat the whole bottom of the pan.
- Slide in the eggs and cook them for 2 minutes, until the whites are set but the edges are still pale.
- Season the whites with the salt and pepper.
- Slip a thin spatula fully under one egg and flip it in a single quick motion, close to the pan surface.
- Cook the flipped egg for just 20 to 30 seconds, then slide it onto the plate.
- Flip and briefly cook the remaining eggs the same way and serve immediately, before the yolks tighten.
