Method 4 steps
Melt the butter in the pan over low to medium heat.
Crack open the eggs into the pan and let fry until the yolks begin to harden at the edges (indicated by a lightening in the yolk color).
Using the spatula, flip the eggs over and allow to cook 10 seconds for over-easy, 30 seconds for over-medium, or up to 1 minute for over-hard.
Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
