For an extra layer of flavor, try infusing the butter with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary. Ensure your skillet is truly nonstick to prevent the eggs from sticking and tearing. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred yolk consistency. If you like a firmer yolk, cook for an additional 30-60 seconds. The water creates steam, which gently cooks the top of the egg, resulting in a perfectly set white and runny yolk.
