eggs (the fresher the better)  
tablespoon unsalted butter  
Salt and pepper

) Heat a small non−stick skillet over low heat and add butter.  
) As soon as the butter stops foaming, crack the eggs into the pan.  
) Lift the handle about an inch so that the eggs pool in the far corner of the pan. Hold  
for 30 seconds or until the whites start to set, then lower the handle and give the pan a  
jiggle just to make sure there's no sticking.  
4
) Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to cook over low heat until the  
whites become opaque.

) Jiggle to loosen the eggs, then lift the pan, holding it about a foot above the heat.  
) Now, flip the eggs over by pushing the pan away and snapping upward  
simultaneously. Once the eggs start their somersault, raise the pan to meet them so that  
the exposed yolks experience the softest landing possible. The goal of course is to avoid  
breaking the yolks.  
7
) If you succeed, count to 10 slowly then flip the eggs again, slide them onto a plate and  
serve.  
) If the yolks do break, act like you meant them to, fry for another minute and serve.

They'll still taste great.
