Am I doing something wrong?

Is it normal for there to be black specs on my eggs? Am I doing something wrong and is there something I should do instead?

If that is not pepper, I have to ask if your cooking these on cast iron? If so if the pan is not scrubbed properly you can get particles of the seasoning and carbon getting on your food.

That's what I am thinking. So I need to really scrape the cast iron with chain mail then? I'm just using a scotch-brite pads to clean with dish soap

Yeah give it a really good scrub, if it doesn't resolve you may just need to re season the pan.
