Crack the egg into a portion cup to ensure the yolk isn't broken.

Preheat the pan over medium high heat for about 1 minute.

Add a knob of butter to the pan and let it foam.

Place the egg from the portion cup into the pan.

Season the egg with a little bit of salt and pepper.

For sunny side up, leave the egg until the thicker white is completely cooked.

For over easy, wait until the thick white is half cooked, then gently flip the egg over.

For over easy, cook for about 10 seconds after flipping, checking the yolk for doneness.

For over medium, cook until the yolk is slightly cooked, about 30 seconds after flipping.

For over well, keep cooking until the yolk is firm.
