Eggs Over Easy

Steps

1. 1Crack 2 large eggs into a custard cupSo you can pour them into the pan right where you want 'em..
2. 2Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet over low heat and add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (don't you dare skimp). Brush the butter around the pan.
3. 3When the butter stops foaming, pour the eggs into the pan, then quickly lift the handle just enough for the eggs to pool slightly on the far side. This will prevent the thin albumin from running out all over the pan.
4. 4After 10 to 15 seconds, smoothly lower the handle. Wait another 10 seconds, then lightly jiggle the pan just to make sure that nothing is sticking. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, still over low heat, for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Jiggle again, and examine the whites for opaqueness; when they're fully set but not hard, it's time to flip.
5. 5Here comes the hard part: Flip the eggs by pushing the pan away from you and snapping the far edge upward. As the eggs turn, try to bring the pan up to meet them.Try to meet the food with the pan to prevent a hard-and yolk-busting-landing.
6. 6Return the pan to the heat and slowly count to 10. Re-flip the eggs to their original side. (This time it won't be so difficult.) Slide onto a warmed plate and serve immediately with toast for wiping up all the goodness.
