Ingredients

3 medium eggs
½ teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil

Instructions

Heat a ceramic non-stick pan on the stove on medium-low heat. I like to add a touch of olive oil or avocado oil.
Gently crack in 3 eggs making sure they are spaced apart.
Let the eggs cook for 2 minutes.
Take a silicone, slotted spatula, nestle it under the egg and gently flip each one making sure not to break the yolks.
Let the eggs cook on the other side until desired doneness. I like to gently touch the yolk with my fingers to guage the softness.
Transfer the eggs out of the pan onto a plate and enjoy!
