Shortest recipe - EVER

So here's my attempt at providing the shortest recipe ever. But first, what constitutes a cooking recipe?

"cooking", by my definition involves heating items. You cannot mix a bowl of greens, add pine nuts,  drizzle it with olive oil and say that you cooked it. Yes, you prepared it, but not cooked it. Please note that baking is a subset of cooking (and that cost me 50% web traffic).

the second deal with cooking is that you cannot use pre-packaged ... stuff. no canned tuna, no pickles, no smoked salmon. bottom-line - you have to use raw ingredients (cheeses ok :p)

the last, and the most important thing is, it should be delectable, pleasant to the palette, not overpowering, decently healthy, and appealing to a wide market (sorry vindaloo, see you another day)

so here goes -

pan-fry (3 free range eggs slightly whisked with 3 chopped basil leaves) over  1/3 finely chopped and sautéed spanish onion, flip on to a plate, and sprinkle with shaved parmesan and a basil leaf 

Appendix (doesn't count towards actual recipe) only if you have to, add tiniest amounts of salt and pepper
