Equipment
stovetop, small skillet, lid, teaspoon, spatula, serving plate
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
