Basted Eggs

5 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup water

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat butter until melted; add eggs.
  2. 2
    Fry until white is starting to set.
  3. 3
    Salt and pepper to taste.
  4. 4
    Add water and cover immediately; some people add less water but I like a little more. The steam will cook the top of eggs; it takes just a minute or so, depending on how well done you like your eggs. Hard will be just like hard boiled eggs, that yellow color.
  5. 5
    I serve these with toast and fried potatoes, just like over easy eggs.
