Crack an egg into a ramekin to check for shell bits.

Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat.

Add a small amount of sunflower oil to the pan and swirl to coat.

Once the pan is hot (test by placing your hand above it), gently add the egg into the pan.

Season the egg with salt and pepper.

Cook the egg until the edges start to firm up and the yolk is runny, shaking the pan gently to check doneness.

Remove the egg from the pan once cooked, noting that the white may be slightly undercooked around the edges.

For the second method, repeat the heating and oiling process in the pan.

Add the egg and season with salt and pepper.

Cook until the white starts to set, then carefully flip the egg using a plastic or silicone spatula.

Cook for a few seconds after flipping, then remove from the pan, noting that the top may look less presentable but the yolk is cooked.

For the third method, heat the pan and add a small amount of oil as before.

Add the egg and season with salt and pepper.

Add a chunk of unsalted butter to the pan and let it melt.

Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the whites to help set them, being careful not to touch the yolk.
