Step 1
Melt butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until foaming stops, ~90 seconds.
Step 2
Crack eggs directly into the pan, keeping yolks intact and spaced apart.
Step 3
Cook until egg whites turn opaque and set but yolks still jiggle when you gently shake the pan, 3–4 minutes.
Step 4
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs, slide onto a plate, and serve immediately.
