Over-Medium Fried Eggs

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

1. Set a nonstick skillet over medium heat and let it warm for 90 seconds.
2. Melt the butter and tilt the pan so it coats the surface evenly.
3. Slide the eggs in and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes, until the whites are completely opaque and firm at the edges.
4. Season the whites with the salt and pepper.
5. Flip each egg gently with a thin spatula.
6. Cook the second side for 60 to 75 seconds, until the yolk feels soft but springy when you touch it with a fingertip.
7. Plate the eggs flipped side down so the yolks show.
