In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil or a little butter.
Once your skillet is hot, crack your egg into it and let it cook for 3 minutes. The white will coagulate around the yolk and begin to brown.
Once that time is up, remove your egg from the skillet with a spatula and enjoy!
