Ingredients · 1 serving

  • 1Egg
  • 1 tspClarified butter
  • 1 pinchSalt
  • 1 tspDill, chopped (to serve)

Equipment

stovetop, small skillet, lid, teaspoon, spatula, serving plate

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients

    Gather egg, clarified butter, salt, and dill; set out a small skillet, lid, teaspoon, spatula, and serving plate. · 2 min

    What to look for: All ingredients and tools are within reach before heating starts.

  2. Warm Butter

    Place 1 teaspoon clarified butter in the cold skillet, then heat over medium until the butter melts and the foaming nearly stops. · 2 min

    What to look for: The butter is clear, melted, and barely foaming.

  3. Crack Egg

    Crack the egg directly into the skillet once the butter quiets, keeping the yolk whole and the white spread in one even layer. · 1 min

    What to look for: The yolk is intact and the white begins turning opaque at the edges.

  4. Cover Cook

    Cover the skillet with the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, trapping steam until the white is set and the yolk still trembles. · 4 min

    What to look for: The white is fully opaque on top, with no clear patches around the yolk.

  5. Season Serve

    Season lightly with salt, scatter dill over the egg, and slide it onto a warm plate while the yolk is still runny. · 1 min

    What to look for: The egg sits neatly on the plate with a glossy, soft yolk and fresh dill on top.

Ingredient substitutions

Clarified butter

  • Sunflower oil: Use only if clarified butter is unavailable; the flavor will be less traditional.

Salt

  • Black pepper: Use a very small pinch if avoiding extra salt; it changes the classic seasoning.

Dill

  • Black pepper: Use only a pinch if fresh dill is unavailable; it will not give the same fresh Polish finish.
