What you need:
* butter
* 2-4 eggs
* salt

* 2-4 eggs

What to do:
1. For Sunny-Side-Up Eggs: Heat 2 tsp. butter in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
2. Break eggs and slip into pan, one at a time. Immediately reduce heat to low.
3. Cover pan and cook slowly until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, 5 to 6 min. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Note: For Over-Easy or Over-Hard Eggs: Cook as for Sunny-Side-Up, but do not cover pan. When whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, slice turner under each egg and carefully flip it over in pan. Cook second side to desired doneness, 30 sec. to 1 min.
For Basted Eggs: Cook as for Sunny-Side-Up, but use 2 Tbsp. butter and do not cover pan. Cook until edges turn white, about 1 min. Begin basting eggs with butter from pan. Cover pan between bastings and continue cooking until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, 4 to 5 min.
For Steam-Basted Eggs: Cook as for Sunny-Side-Up, but use 1 tsp. butter or a light coating of cooking spray. Cook until edges turn white, about 1 min. Add 1 tsp. water to pan. Cover pan tightly. Continue cooking until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, 4 to 5 min.
