• Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle on low to medium low heat. Coat with butter or spray with cooking spray and crack an egg directly into the pan. If you are worried about egg shells getting into the pan, you can break the egg into a small bowl and then pour it into the pan.
  
• After 20-30 seconds, sprinkle 1 teaspoon water over top of the egg to help egg steam and cook through. Do not flip. Continue to cook an additional 1-3 minutes or until egg whites are completely cooked and opaque but yolk is still runny.

  Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately or continue to cook to one of the doneness levels below.
  

For Over Easy:

• Using a plastic, flat spatula flip the egg and cook an additional 20 seconds. Yolk should remain runny. Season with salt and pepper.
  

For Over Medium:

• Flip egg and continue to cook until yolk is only cooked about half-way (about 1 additional minute). Yolk should only be slightly runny. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
  

For Over Hard:

• After flipping egg, cook for an additional 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until yolk is completely cooked through. You can also gently break the yolk to assure the yolk completely cooks. Season to taste and serve.
