First, make sure your pan is gently heated. Placing eggs in a cold pan can cause them to stick, making it difficult to cook them properly. A small amount of oil, followed by a knob of butter, creates the perfect cooking medium. It is critical to melt the butter first before introducing anything else, allowing it to season the pan adequately.
After seasoning the butter with a pinch of salt and pepper, it’s time to crack those eggs. The method is crucial: crack the egg gently on a flat surface to prevent shell fragments from entering your dish. Then, allow the egg to drop directly into the pan.
