Separate the egg yolk from the egg whites.

Whisk the egg whites until they can hold their form, which took about 6 minutes using a whisk.

Oil the pan and heat it on medium heat.

Add the whipped egg whites to the pan and create a hole for the egg yolk.

Cover the pan and cook for about 3 minutes.

Remove the lid and check the egg whites, noting that they are mostly water and protein.

Cover the pan again to continue cooking the yolk.

Flip the egg to cook the other side for another minute, if desired, but note that flipping may affect the appearance of the egg.

Taste the egg and suggest it goes well with ketchup.
