Few meals deliver as much nourishment with as little effort as a perfectly cooked egg, and when you're feeding a baby through every meal you eat, that matters enormously. Eggs are a powerhouse of choline, protein, and healthy fats — nutrients that support both your recovery and your baby's developing brain. This simple preparation keeps every bit of that goodness intact, with nothing added beyond a little butter, salt, and pepper. Cooking low and slow in foaming butter is the real secret here: it gives you whites that are fully set and safe to eat while keeping the yolk rich and runny. Whether you go sunny-side up or flip them over-easy, the whole thing comes together in just a few minutes, which is exactly what you need when a newborn is running the schedule. Serve them straight from the pan on their own, over toast, or alongside whatever else you have energy to make — no fuss, no cleanup drama, just a genuinely satisfying plate.

Melt the butter in a 10-inch or 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat until it foams and the foam begins to subside, about 1 minute.
Crack each egg into the skillet, spacing them apart so the whites don't merge. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
