Perfectly Basted Eggs
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt, or to taste
Instructions
1
Heat a medium-sized non-stick cooking vessel over a moderate temperature setting.
2
Gradually introduce melted butter into the skillet, allowing it to warm up and become fluid.
3
Carefully pour eggs into the skillet, taking care not to break the eggshell, and let them cook for approximately one minute.
4
Introduce a small amount of water into the skillet and cover it with a lid or a heat-resistant tray to trap the steam.
5
Decrease the heat level to a lower setting and allow the eggs to continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the whites have fully set and the yolks remain soft.
6
Remove the lid to reveal a partially cooked egg, with some of the white set over the yolk.
7
Transfer the eggs to a serving dish and season with black pepper and flaky salt, if desired.
