Basted Egg

1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of non-stick spray, butter, or oil of your choice.

2. Crack the egg into the pan, and add any desired seasoning (such as salt and pepper).

3. Allow the egg to cook only briefly before adding approximately 1 tablespoon of water. Immediately cover the pan with a lid, and allow the egg to cook for 2–3 minutes, depending on how well done you desire the egg.

4. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
