Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Crack 1 large egg into a small bowl, being careful not to break the yolk.
Step 3
Gently slide the egg into the hot oil. It should sizzle immediately.
Step 4
Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set and the edges are golden and crispy.
Step 5
Season with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper.
Step 6
Remove from the pan with a spatula and serve immediately while the yolk is still runny.
