Place a small saucer on the stove over low heat and add the teaspoon of butter.

Allow the butter to melt and become hot.

Carefully break the two eggs into the saucer.

Let the eggs cook until they start to bubble and the edges begin to set.

Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, remove the saucer from the heat.

Serve the shirred eggs in the saucer directly, or slip the saucer onto a small plate for serving.

Serve immediately.
