Move the butter in its wrapper and allow it to melt slowly, coating the bottom of the pan. 2️⃣ Crack the Eggs Crack the eggs gently into the pan, keeping the yolks intact. Let them cook undisturbed. 3️⃣ Cook the Whites Allow the eggs to cook until the whites are mostly set on the bottom the yolks are still bright yellow and runny. This usually takes about 2 minutes or so. 4️⃣ Flip the Eggs and Season Rotate the eggs so they are toward the back of the pan. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Gently move the pan back and forth to loosen the eggs, then carefully flip them over. Pepper the back of the eggs. 5️⃣ Finish Cooking Cook for 10–20 seconds on the second side. This lightly cooks the top while keeping the yolks runny or more for firmer eggs. 6️⃣ Serve Transfer the eggs to a plate by gently flipping and enjoy immediately. 🌊 Subscribe to Calm Sea Cooks Comfort food recipes made for two, simple, cozy, and approachable. 📺 Subscribe on YouTube 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@CalmSeaCooks 🎓 Learn More with Grounded Life (Affiliate Links) If you’re over 40 and interested in creating a successful YouTube channel or planning meaningful retirement travel, we highly recommend these courses: ▶️ YouTube After 40: https://groundedlife.thinkific.com/courses/youtube-after-40?ref=8ea664 ▶️ Retirement Travel Jumpstart: https://groundedlife.thinkific.com/courses/retirement-travel-jumpstart?ref=8ea664 ▶️ Bundle – YouTube + Retirement Travel: https://groundedlife.thinkific.com/bundles/retirement-travel-jumpstart-youtube-after-40?ref=8ea664 These are affiliate links.
