Ingredients:
- Butter (or vegetable oil if you want to have a healthier meal).
Butter should have a depth of 1/8 of an in. in the skillet.
- Eggs (use proportionally to the butter)
Method:
Heat butter, oil, etc. in a heavy skillet until hot enough to sizzle when in contact with water. Carefully take an egg and (I use the edge of a clean cutting board for this) gently tap it against the surface until you can see a crack in the shell. Cautiously slide the yolk and white (the clear stuff) into the skillet one at a time.
Once all the eggs are on the skillet, reduce the heat to low. You can carry out the following step in 2 ways: flip the eggs when firm to cook thoroughly, or take a heat resistant spoon and spoon the butter (or oil!) onto the egg.
Add salt when cooking the eggs if using oil, as butter and margarine contain the salt content already and the oil doesn't. Cook until the whites start browning, and wait 3-4 minutes before serving.
To make an even healthier meal, cook peppers, onions, corn, and/or peas into the egg and serve with a bowl of cereal and orange juice.
