Sunny-Side Up Fried Eggs Recipe

Heat butter in a cast iron, carbon steel, or nonstick skillet over medium heat until lightly foaming, tilting pan to evenly distribute the melted butter. Carefully break eggs into the skillet, season with salt, and cook until the whites are just set on top and the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate, season with pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
