Using a non-stick pan, heat the stove on medium and add butter or oil to the pan.

Once melted, break a large egg into the middle of the pan and season with kosher salt and black pepper.

When the whites are starting to set, add 1 tablespoon of water to the pan. Immediately add a lid and cook until the whites are completely set and the top of the egg yolk is almost opaque in color.

Remove from the heat and use a spatula to remove the egg from the pan.
