Ingredients
- 1 fresh egg
- 1 teaspoon of oil, olive oil, or butter (for frying)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the oil, olive oil, or butter. Let it heat for 1 minute (do not let it smoke).
- Crack the egg: Carefully crack the egg into a small plate (to avoid shells falling into the skillet) or directly into the hot skillet.
- Fry the egg: Cook over medium heat until the egg white is set and opaque, but the yolk remains liquid (about 2-3 minutes).
- Season: Remove the egg with a spatula, transfer to a plate, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
