Eggs in a pan are one of the easiest and most popular ways to cook eggs on the stovetop. 🍳 You can make them fried, scrambled, or over-easy depending on how you cook them.
Simple Pan-Fried Eggs
Ingredients
- 1–2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Butter or cooking oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a frying pan on medium heat.
- Add butter or oil and let it melt.
- Crack the eggs into the pan.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until the whites are set.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve.
Common Styles
- Sunny-side up: Cook one side only, yolk stays runny.
- Over-easy: Flip once, cook briefly on the other side.
- Scrambled eggs: Beat eggs first and stir while cooking.
💡 Tip: Cooking eggs on medium-low heat helps prevent burning and keeps the yolk creamy.
