It's non-stick? You still need some grease. Heat the pan, drop in
some butter, or even spray it with Pam or something - let it get hot
- drop in the egg. Don't mess with the egg until you're ready to turn
it (or do whatever you do) - right when you first drop it in, it might
stick, but not after the bottom is cooked a little.

I use stainless steel and/or a cheap T-Fal non-stick, and never have
trouble with either one. (My stainless was made by All-Clad - it is
NOT non-stick.)
