BHA & BHT Free Classic Fried Eggs

Few breakfasts are as satisfying as a perfectly cooked fried egg, and this version keeps things beautifully simple. Real unsalted butter, fresh eggs, and a pinch of salt and pepper — that's the whole list, which means no hidden preservatives to track down or decode on a label. BHA and BHT are common additives found in many processed cooking sprays, flavored oils, and packaged fats, so using plain butter here is a genuinely smart swap that keeps things clean without sacrificing any flavor. The technique is just as thoughtful as the ingredient list: a medium-low heat and a patient hand let the whites set slowly and evenly while the yolk stays gloriously runny. If you prefer a little more doneness, the quick flip for over-easy gives you a matte, just-set yolk that still has a soft, jammy center. Slide them onto a warm plate and eat immediately — this is the kind of breakfast that reminds you how good simple food can be.
