Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the butter or oil.

Once the butter has melted or the oil is hot, carefully pour the egg into the pan.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the egg.

Let the egg cook until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes.

Use a spatula to carefully remove the egg from the pan and transfer it to a plate.

Enjoy your delicious fried egg!
