Butter and plate the toast
Butter knife
Serving plates

Divide 2 tablespoons butter among the hot toast. Spread the butter to the edges, then place the slices separately on serving plates to keep them crisp.

3 Tablespoon butter

Melt the remaining butter
Skillet

Heat the skillet over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and swirl until it is melted and gently foaming.

Keep the skillet handle turned away from the edge of the stove.

Add, season, and cover the eggs
Skillet
Bowl

Crack one egg into the small bowl, then slide it into the skillet. Repeat with the remaining eggs, spacing them evenly. Sprinkle with the kosher salt and black pepper, then cover the skillet.

Cook the eggs to preferred doneness
Skillet

Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the whites are completely opaque and the yolks are cooked to the desired firmness. Remove the skillet from the heat as soon as the eggs reach your preferred doneness.

Cook eggs until the whites are fully set. People at higher risk of foodborne illness should also cook the yolks until firm.
