Founding WW members probably remember “frying” their eggs in Teflon pans with nary a dot of butter, and would probably rather forget all the eggs that stuck to the pan or burned! Today’s more enduring nonstick finishes, plus the removal of butter from the banned list, makes our updated recipe much simpler, tastier, and foolproof. It's still about as quick a meal as you can prepare, ready in no time and perfect on its own with salt and pepper to taste. Or try the egg paired with one of our delectable sauces or salsas for a more dressed up serving of what's been called "the perfect protein."
