Few breakfasts are as satisfying as a perfectly cooked fried egg, and this version delivers exactly that — golden, lacy edges, silky whites, and a yolk that runs just right when you break it open. Lupin flour has quietly crept into a surprising number of packaged foods and restaurant kitchens, so keeping meals simple and ingredient-transparent is genuinely smart. Here, it's just butter, eggs, salt, and pepper — nothing hidden, nothing to second-guess. The technique is the real star: starting with foamy melted butter over medium-low heat gives you that gorgeous, slightly crisp edge without any rubbery texture. Whether you prefer a runny sunny-side-up or a just-set over-easy, the instructions walk you through both with confidence. Slide them onto a plate and serve immediately, because a great fried egg waits for no one.

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.
