Toast, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the butter or bacon grease in a nonstick frying pan over medium high heat.
- Let pan heat up until butter bubbles.
- Once the butter bubbles (but before it browns), gently crack the egg into the pan.
- Let the egg cook for about 1 minute, until the edges begin to set.
- Add 2 tsp of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid.
- Cook for 1–2 minutes, or until the egg white is set.
- If it’s really jiggly, give it one more minute. If you prefer a firmer yolk, you can cook until the yolk is your desired consistency.
- Carefully slide the egg onto toast, season with salt and pepper, and enjoy!
