Ingredients

• 1 fresh egg
• 1 teaspoon of oil, olive oil, or butter (for frying)
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste (optional)

Instructions

1. 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).
2. Crack the egg: Carefully crack the egg into a small plate (to avoid shells falling into the skillet) or directly into the hot skillet.
3. Fry the egg: Cook over medium heat until the egg white is set and opaque, but the yolk remains liquid (about 2-3 minutes).
4. Season: Remove the egg with a spatula, transfer to a plate, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
