Heat an 8 inch, nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute.

Add butter to the skillet. Using your spatula, spread melting butter over the bottom of the pan to coat evenly so the eggs won't stick.

Crack your eggs one at a time into a small bowl and then gently slide them into the skillet. You can also carefully crack the eggs directly into the skillet. Just tap each egg lightly on your counter top until a slight crack forms and then use your fingers to crack the egg the rest of the way open.

Lightly salt and pepper eggs.

Cook eggs for about 2-1/2 to 3 minutes or until the whites of the egg are set.

Carefully flip the eggs separately and cook for about 2 minutes longer or until yolk is firm to the touch.
