Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon sumac
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon olive oil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into separate small bowls or ramekins to ensure the yolks remain intact.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and sizzle slightly, ensuring it doesn’t burn.

Step 3

Carefully slide the eggs into the skillet, keeping the yolks intact, and reduce the heat to medium-low.

Step 4

Sprinkle the sumac evenly over the egg whites and yolks. Season with sea salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Step 5

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are fully set and the yolks are cooked to your preferred level of doneness (runny or slightly firm).

Step 6

For added flavor, drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over the cooked eggs before serving (optional).

Step 7

Remove the eggs from the skillet using a spatula and plate them. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 8

Serve immediately with warm crusty bread, pita, or a side of fresh salad.
